The chapel was erected in memory of Marie-Renard, a girl from Leignon who was strangled in this forest in 1851, defending herself against rape, which is how we seem to understand the text carved into the pedestal:
"A la mémoire de Marie Renard, congréganiste de Leignon, étranglée dans le 15 juin 1851 à l'age de 19 ans. Elle aim mieux mourir que de perdre sa steté. RIP"
