domed tower bearing the date 1605.

You enter the churchyard by a triumphal arch, in Renaissance dated 1587.
It is large and massive, with a great amount of detail substantially
introduced, its summit crowned by a number of crosses. On the frieze St.
Thégonnec is represented conducting a waggon drawn by an ox: a facsimile
of the waggon that is said to have assisted in carrying the stone to
build the church. St. Thégonnec is the patron saint of all animals, and
to him the peasants appeal for success and good-luck in such matters.

Adjoining the triumphal arch is a Flamboyant ossuary or mortuary chapel,
dated 1581, richly gabled, in perfect preservation, and of two storeys.
The first consists of semicircular arches supported by small pillars
with Corinthian capitals. A short staircase within leads to a crypt
converted into a small chapel, in which is an entombment formed of
life-size figures carved in wood, gilded and painted, bearing date 1702.
The calvary in the churchyard, a remarkable monument, completes the
history, by a multitude of small statues representing all the principal
episodes of the Passion. Its date is 1610. Even the crosses are
surmounted by statuettes, as if the designer had not known how to heap
up sufficient richness of ornamentation. The carved pulpit in the
interior of the church is also remarkable.

We could only devote an hour to St. Thégonnec; Guimiliau had still to be
seen, and we wished to be back in Morlaix by a certain time, for "the
night cometh." Fortunately the drive was not a long one.

Guimiliau is a village not half the size of St. Thégonnec, and is even
less civilized. Into the inn, which no doubt is respectable, but was
rough and primitive, we did not venture. The driver and the landlord
