S. Salvator's.—A black and white marble screen and loft of the

seventeenth century. It is divided into three arched compartments, but

without altars; the side spaces are filled with open brass-work, and the

choir gates, or holy doors, are of the same material.[12]

Notre Dame.—A screen of a very similar description, only of a plainer

character. It is remarkable for having the altar erected in the centre

of the loft, out of which grows the great rood, supporting the crucifix.

S. Giles's church has a very curious screen of the seventeenth century,

exceedingly rich in carving, and supporting a rood loft. It is designed

in perfect conformity to the ancient traditions, although the detail is

necessarily of a debased period.
