1920.] SOCIAL LIFE IN GUERNSEY. 255 



two pewter pans, also a porringer, three candlesticks and two 

 salt-cellars, a saucer and a pint measure of pewter ; a bust of 

 St. John and two bottles, probably the leather water bottles 

 carried by all pilgrims; and seven skeins (" eschevaulx ") of 

 ecru thread, and two of white thread ; these may have been 

 for stringing his bow. 



In 1507 Denis records the transactions which had passed 

 between him and his (?) guardian (" selourge ") Guillaume 

 Philipote with reference to the moneys advanced for his 

 schooling and also for certain necessaries, such as bed, clothing, 

 etc., amounting in all to six ecus and eight gros, for which 

 sum Denis deposited as surety a silver goblet " (hanap)" and a 

 waistbelt of silk fringed with silver, a steel crossbow and two 

 parchment " prieres de Mattines," by a deed to which Michsel 

 de Sausmarez was witness. On another page Denis notes that 

 his two nieces Marie and Katherine Ozanne, daughters of his 

 brother Guillaume, in 1510, owned two " Agnus Dei." These 

 were probably brought home by their father when he went on 

 a pilgrimage to "la Croix de Challedon" — (wherever that may 

 have been) — for which pilgrimage he had to borrow a 

 " couronne d'or " from his brother Denis. For these relics 

 were specially blessed silver images of a lamb — the Lamb of 

 God — wrapped in a special cover ("une nouleure a agnus dei 

 avec agniaulx d'argent "). We know that Mary Queen of 

 Scots wore at her execution an Agnus Dei hanging from a 

 black ribband. They also owned two silver skewers (" bro- 

 quez d'argent"), three silver rings, and two girdles, one of 

 them being fringed, from which their rosarys would have been 

 suspended. 



Denis Ozanne died about 1511, and Jean Girard, his 

 brother-in-law, then continues the book. This Jean Girard 

 tells us he was a " batonnier de la frerie de Jesus " — which 

 means that he carried the Friar's staff of office during cere- 

 monial processions ; and he was evidently also a schoolmaster 

 in partnership with John de St. Martin ; as in 1520 he notes 

 that they had severally discharged their joint expenses " tant 

 d'escollage de mes pupilles de audevant du dit jour," as well 

 as in other matters. 



Pope tells us that : — 



" Who builds a Church to God and not to fame 

 Will never mark the marble with his name." 



but had Jean Girard, by a draft will, not bequeathed one 



angellot towards the " completion of the Chapels of Ste. 



Barbe and Ste. Katerine," we should never have known of 



their existence. He also left the better of his two Breviaries
