History

[edit]

Excavations at the Clos de Bitot site in 1984 uncovered fourGaulish kilns and evidence of domestic animal use, particularly dogs. Additionally, aRoman villa was identified through aerial photography in 1987, suggesting significant historical occupation.

The name Saint-Contest is derived fromSaint Contest, who served as theBishop of Bayeux between 480 and 513. The local church, dating back to the 11th century, was granted to theAbbey of Ardenne in 1207 by Gautier d'Aignaux, the then lord of Saint-Contest.

The commune was a strategic point duringOperation Charnwood in July 1944, leading to extensive damage and loss of life.
