Full text | 314 Route 25. LEAU. From Landen still to be seen. The town, which was formerly very animated, is now almost deserted, this is owing in great measure to the ii stupidity of the town-council, who, when the high-road from Ht Tirlemont to §. Trond was made, stoutly resisted its being carried dott through the town. te The Cuurca of S. Leonarp is a fine edifice rebuilt in 1231 ; f the W. front flanked by 2 square towers is of transition style; the choir, Jst pointed; the nave, aisles and trans. are of XIV and XV cent.; the baptistery, 1452-4, was designed by M. De Layens ; the chapels are of XV and XY1 cent. ; the vaulting, 1503-4, and the wooden turret at the intersection of the cross, c. 1510. The choir presents the feature, common in the Romanesque churches along the Rhine, but met with nowhere else in Belgium, of an exterior gallery immediately beneath the cornice of the apse. (See p. 318). Here are an altar of the B. V. with a carved reredos designed by M. De Layens, 2 other carved reredoses and an ex voto, XV and XVI cent. ; a very fine pyramidal Tabernacle of alabaster, carved in the best style of the Renaissance, with a lofty canopy, nearly 90 ft. high, full of sacred imagery, while round the base is a rich brass railing with bowls and prickets for tapers; opposite it is the tomb of the donor, Sir Martin van Wilre, Lord of Oplinter, 1538, close to which is the most elegant example known of a Paschal candlestick, beautifully exe- cuted in the finest brass, about 46 ft. high; from an hexagonal base supported by 3 lions and 3 dogs rises a massive shaft with a perforated lectern attached to it, immediately above which are a small branch for a candle and a statuette of S. Leonard ona bracket; above these are 6 larger branches for lights adorned with vine leaves and bunches of grapes, while the uppermost part of the shaft, which is cruciform and terminates in a pricket for 1 the paschal candle, has a figure of our Lord crucified attached to it, surrounded by statuettes of the B. V., S. John and S. Mary Magdalene on brackets supported by branches. Tere are also a fine eagle lectern and a benatura of brass, several pair of altar candlesticks, a standard corona of iron; 2 paintings of the early Flemish school, one repr. scenes from the life of S. Hu- Ba bert, the other, the 3 Marys atthe Sepulchre; a Tr. by F. De Vrint i repr. in centre the 4- Evangelists and on side-panels the history | of the Prodigalson; and a Descent from the Cross by 0. Van Veen. In the naye formerly hunga magnificent corona, now atS. Chad’s, Birmingham. In the Sacristy are a fine sun monstrance of silver gilt, 8 chalices, XY-XVII cent., a pair of cruetts and several reliquaries.
