ST. apolline's chapel. 239 



mentioned bj Sir Edgar MacCnlloch, exists on the south side 

 of the sanctuary, and the window above it has a transom. 

 The parcel gilt burette or cruet was given to the Town Church 

 by the present Seigneur of S. George, the Rev. Hubert 

 Stevens-Guille. This vahiable little vessel was engraved in 

 Specimens of Ancient Church Plate, Sepulchral Crosses, Sec, 

 published at Oxford, Cambridge and London in 1845. In 

 1895 it was exhibited by Mr. Lee to the Society of Anti- 

 quaries, and Mr. W. H. t^t. John Hope wrote an interesting 

 account of it in the Transactions of that Society. Mr. Hope 

 says that " although the cruet is not hall-marked, there can be 

 little or no doubt that it is English, and probably of London 

 make. The lettering on the medial band closely resembles that 

 on the Rochester Mazer of 1532-3, in the possession of the 

 President, and on the Tokerys Mazer of 1534-5, belonging to 

 Mr. W. Jardone Brakenridge. Its date therefore is probably 

 circa 1530-35." There is no foundation for the "tradition" 

 referred to by Sir Edgar MacCulloch, that the cruet came 

 originally from the Chapel of S. Apolline. A letter in the 

 possession of Mr. Stevens-Guille shows that the cruet was 

 given to the late Mr. John Guille, Bailiff, by his cousin Mr. 

 Andros, and the inscription makes it likely that it belonged 

 to a Church or Chapel of S. Paid.
