210 Visit of the societe jersiaise. 



shown the meeting place of the Fief Gaillard by the Rector 

 (the Rev. I. H. Bibby). In the Church Mr. S. C. Curtis 



read an account of the Rectory and architecture. The inte- 

 resting Church plate and the Registers were also shown ; and 

 after the party had thoroughly examined the Church, an 

 adjournment was ma'.le to the Rectoiw, where the Rector 

 kindly entertained the whole of the visitors and the members 

 of our Society to tea. The party left at 5.30 p.m. after 

 expressing their hearty thanks to the Rector for making the 

 visit to this Church so interesting and for his hospitality. It 

 had been intended to visit the Catel Church on the way back, 

 but time did not permit and this was deferred till next day. 



Wednesday, August 4th, was a quiet day. In the morn- 

 ing Mr. A. Collenette showed the visitors the treasures of the 

 Guille-Alles Museum, and all were much impressed at the 

 great care and pains which had been taken by the Honorary 

 Curator in his labour of love in displaying the contents to the 

 best advantage in the wholly inadequate and unsuitable space 

 at his disposal. 



The visitors who were interested in ancient documents 

 were conducted over the Greffe by Miss E. F. Carey. The 

 priceless Charters and the Manuscripts left by the late Sir 

 Edgar MacCulloch were shown and the visit was much 

 appreciated. 



The Rev. H. G. de C. Stevens Guille had kindly invited 

 the visitors to see his house and grounds at St. George, and it 

 was decided to visit this place after the two remaining 

 Churches of the Vale and the Catel. At the former the 

 Rev. S. N. H. Rawdon, the Curate in charge, described the 

 Church in the unavoidable absence of the Rector (the Rev. 

 F. W. S. Le Lievre) and of Major S. C. Curtis, engaged on 

 military duties. A halt on the way to the Catel Church was 

 made at La Pouquelaye, near Saumarez Park, to examine 

 three-headed figure there. Various conjectures as to its origin 

 were made, but no definite opinion was arrived at. 



The Catel Church was next visited, and as time pressed 

 the call was necessarily hurried, but the visitors were much 

 interested in the architecture of the Church, the frescoes on 

 the wall of the north aisle, and the orderly care in which the 

 fabric was kept. 



At St. George the Rev. H. G. de C. Stevens Guille had 

 provided a sumptuous tea, after which the pictures and trea- 

 sures in the house, the heirlooms of generations of the Guille 

 family, and the grounds and gardens were visited with much 

 interest and pleasure, and after many thanks to Mr. Guille
