134 AX EXCUKSION. 



1900, says: — "The present church of St. Pierre-du-Bois 

 possesses few architectural features older than the loth 

 century ; its reconstruction may have been coeval with the 

 south side of St. Peter-Port. Excellent original flamboyant 

 tracery is seen in some of the windows. The Tower is also 

 at the west end, and it is the most elegant of the church 

 towers in the island. It was evidently built before the gable, 

 as the latter rests upon it, and probably before the arcade 

 supporting the roofs. A curious feature in the church is that 

 it has two entrances, a porch being found on the north side of 

 the Tower, whilst another door close by gives access to the 

 nave. It was formerly the custom for men to enter by one 

 door and women bv the other."
