[WW2] French Village (work in progress)

Would this pass for a Normandy village church?  It's a gothic terrain piece from Fantascene:

It does look kind of Norman to me. I'd like it more if it had a bigger tower, but I don't think it would look glaringly out of place, and that circular window is very nice.

Grey stone churches like that do seem to be the most common type in Normandy, as in England.

St Mere Eglise



Tower only but you can see the simililarity.

Here are some pics of churches from my recent visit to Normandy:

Church at Crepon (Green Howards Memorial)


Church at Creully (4/7 Dragoon Guards Memorial)


Church at Carentan


The Fantascene Church is pretty close to the one at Crepon (where CSM Stan Hollis won his VC).  The Carentan Church is beyond my scratch-building abilities!!
