The uncle of Jacques-Desired Laval, the canon Nicolas Laval (born with Croth the February 9th 1767 and deceased in 1852), was cleaned of this parish of 1813 with 1852. He had opened in his vast presbytery a school presbytérale. Its nephew placed with him 1817 with 1820; it is there that Jacques-Desired Laval learned how “to skin the Latin ”.
Later, during his seminar with Paris, then after his ordination, the Father Jacques-Desired Laval will like to return in Tourville near his uncle, at the holidays and each time it had the possibility of it. It is as from there as it will leave in all haste, the morning of the May 14th 1841, to go to London where its departure for the Mauritius was initially envisaged 20 of the same one the mois.
Beside the church and presbytery is only one tomb, that of the abbot Nicolas Laval. A marble plate evokes its merits. A more recent plate is fixed on the wall of the church to recall the passage of Jacques-Desired Laval to Tourville.
