VILLEMAUR.

A most interesting jubé, constructed of wood, and erected in the

sixteenth century, is still remaining in the parish church of Villemaur.

The front of the loft is divided into eleven panels, each containing a

mystery of our Lord's passion, carved in bas-relief; below these are a

series of arches springing from pendants. The screen is open, with

mullions richly carved in the arabesque style, and the loft is ascended

by a circular staircase on the Epistle side, enclosed with open

mullions. The arrangement of this staircase greatly resembles that of

the rood loft at Lambader, in Brittany.
