Route 22. 273 the churches or streets are maniacs; travellers, seeking for infor- mation, should therefore be on their guard to whom they apply, agit sometimes happens that persons, not aware of the state of the population, will consider themselves insulted and get angry on receiving a grimace in reply to a civil question, and any person assaulting a lunatic here is liable to severe punishment. The Parish Ghurch, S. Awanpus, ¢. 1420, is a very large 3 aisled cruciform building with apsidal choir ; the trans. are short; there is a fine clerestory but no triforium. The stalls, in Renais- sance style, and the confe ssionals are exquisitely carved; over the chancel arch is an anct. Rood with statues of the B. V. and §. John; the screen beneath, of black and white marble, 5 1/2 ft. high, is well sculptured. The best paintings are, aTr. repr. the Adoration of the Magi by 4. Van der Werf, the Resur- rection and Entombment with S. Amandus and S. Dympna, XVI cent. In the Sacristy area silver tower monstrance with gilt statuettes of the B. V., S. Amandus, and S. Dympna, ¢. 1490, and a Chasuble, the orphreys of which are embroidered with the Annunciation, Visitation, Nativity, Moses before the fiery bush, etc., XV cent. The Church of 5.

The chapel of the B. V., blown down by a storm in 1606, was, with a great portion of the choir vault rebuilt the same year. Choir : On N. side.a carved pyramidal Tabernacle of XV cent. which has suffered from modernisation. In the centre a marble monument with recumbent effigies, carved in pink alabaster, of Sir John de Merode, Lord of Gheel, and his wife, supported by 6 figures, 1350. N. Aisle: a Reredos carved in stone, painted and gilt; in centre, the Crucifixion, in side-niches statuettes of the Apostles ; end of XU cent. Choir Amb, : Behind the high altar is the tomb of S.

In the E. chapel is a large and fine reredos with shutters repr. scenes from the life of S. Dympma : in another, a very .fine reredos, the centre of which, divided into 3 canopied compart- ments beautifully carved in high relief, is occupied by repr. of the Scourging, Crucifixion and Entombment; on either side of these SUNS USNESO SCR eal |
