party did the same: each, too, in succession, put a piece of money into a cup, to which we also were invited to contribute, for the love of the Holy Virgin.--They entered by the south door, but the great western portal was thrown open as they left the church; and by that they departed. * * * * * FOOTNOTES: [Footnote 47: _Masson de St. Amand, Essais Historiques sur Evreux_, I. p. 39.] [Footnote 48: _Johnes' Translation_, 8vo, IV. p. 292.] [Footnote 49: See _Britten's Architectural Antiquities_, III. t. 2.] [Footnote 50: _Goube, Histoire de Normandie_, III. 249.] [Footnote 51: _Histoire de la Haute Normandie_, II. p. 319.] [Footnote 52: Mr. Gough, (See _Archæologia_, X. p. 187.) whose attention had been much directed to this subject, seems to have known only four fonts made of lead, in the kingdom;--at Brookland in Kent, Dorchester in Oxfordshire, Wareham in Dorsetshire, and Walmsford in Northamptonshire; but there are in all probability many more. We have at least four in Norfolk. He says, "they are supposed to be of high antiquity; and that at Brookland may have relation to the time of Birinus himself. To what circumstance the others are to be referred, or from what other church brought, does not appear."--The leaden fonts which I have seen, have all been raised upon a basis of brick or stone, like this at Bourg-Achard, and are all of nearly the same pattern.] [Footnote 53: See _Concilia Normannica_, II. pp. 56, 117, 403, 491, 508, &c] LETTER XX.
