BOURGES.

The choir of this church was formerly enclosed by a screen of wood,

extending across the nave, on which were thirty brass candlesticks

standing in large basins for wax-lights on great feasts.

This screen was provided with three doors, and the front was enriched

with sculptures representing the life and passion of our Lord. The whole

was demolished in 1774.
