I found in "Pays de Normandy 9, July-Aug 1997: 12", a tourism magazine, this
short piece of news:

Recumbent figures under the floor

Two recumbent figures made of stone from Vernon (27), dated as XVIth
century, were serendipitously uncovered under the floor of the church of
Tosny, near Les Andelys in the dept. of Eure (27). A city worker made the
discovery when reparing the XVIIIth century wooden floor. They were
perfectly preserved statues of the local knight Richard de Coetlegon and his
wife Marguerite de Pillavoine in their feast clothes.

(My shaky translation)

Anybody knows more about this and those?
