  • In Ham-sur-Heure is the Chapelle Saint-Roch, built in 1636-1638. The chapel was built by Franciscans. The chapel was also used as a parish church for the village for a long time, until the construction of the first Église Saint-Martin in 1822. The chapel contains an old organ, built in 1776 by I.H. Marchal. It has not been in use for quite some time. The pipe work has disappeared, except for the prospect pipes. The disposition can no longer be read from the console. The organ had one keyboard of 53 keys (CD-f'''), ten stops and no pedal.
  • The disposition mentioned is a probable reconstruction, recorded by Pierre Decourcelle in 1994.
