It looks like a French church. The area marked with a circle is small and against a wall. I am guessing it was the location of an execution by a firing squad...who and where I have not idea.

Lieutenant Herbert Denham Brotheridge was a British Army officer, and was the first Allied soldier to be killed in action on D-Day, 6 June 1944, during Operation Tonga.
Brotheridge was born in Smethwick, Staffordshire.
Brotheridge commanded a platoon in Major John Howard's 'D' Company, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry, 6th Airborne Division, and led a charge across the Bridge now known as Pegasus Bridge. He was hit with a shot to the neck and died of wounds in the early hours of 6 June aged 26. He is buried in the War Cemetery in Ranville Churchyard near Caen in France. Ranville was the first village in France to be liberated.
Brotheridge received a mention in dispatches for this action.
Note that some purists modify this death to be the first death "by enemy fire" because another soldier in the attack (Lance-Corporal Fred Greenhalgh) died by drowning when exiting his glider.
A memorial plaque to commemorate the events of Den Brotheridge's death was unveiled at Smethwick Council House on 2 April 1995 by his daughter, Margaret Brotheridge.
