A "Virgin and Child" was fortunately rescued from the ruins of the Cathedral. It is a Flemish work of the 16th century. A surrounding fence (_Hortus conclusus_ of the Litanies) is represented on the pedestal (photo opposite). Beside the tomb described above was that of Jean Visscherius, Bishop of Ypres, who died in 1613. The bishop, clothed in his pontifical robes and wearing his mitre, was represented in a recumbent position, his head raised on a cushion and supported by his hand (photo below). There were other tombs in the church, notably that of Louise Delage, Lady of Saillort, widow of the Chancellor of Burgundy, Hugonnet (beheaded in 1477). [Illustration: THE VIRGIN OF ST. MARTIN (_Photo, Antony, Ypres._)] In the pavement before the altar was the third tombstone of the famous _Cornelius Jansenius_. It was a simple slab of stone, on which was carved a cross, and in the four corners the figures 1, 6, 3, 8. Jansenius, Bishop of Ypres, who died of plague on May 6, 1638, was the founder of the sect of the Jansenists, which still exists in Holland, and whose headquarters are at Utrecht. When and how this tombstone was placed there is not known. It replaced two others removed by ecclesiastical authority in 1655 and 1673 respectively. [Illustration: MAUSOLEUM OF JEAN VISSCHERIUS (_Photo, Antony, Ypres._)] Round the chapel, known as the Dean's Chapel, there was a fine copper railing decorated with small alabaster figures. The inner doors of the church were magnificently carved; those of the south portal, with superimposed figures of saints, were considered to be marvels of Belgian art. In the Place Vandenpeerboom, take the Rue de Boesinghe. Leaving the Rue d'Elverdinighe (see plan, p. 72) _on the left_, the Cattle Market is next reached, formerly a pond, since filled in. Here were three guild-houses, Nos. 15, 19 and 21. No. 15 was the Maison des Bateliers, on whose façade two symbolic boats were depicted. The canal which passed before the house has disappeared. The date of construction was shown by anchors fixed in the wall of the second storey: 1-6-2-9. At the top of the gable there was an involuted niche which probably sheltered the statue of the patron-saint of sailors (photo opposite). The next house, part of which may be seen on the right of the photo, was 17th century. [Illustration: THE MAISON DES BATELIERS (1629) _Completely destroyed. Note the two emblematical ships on the façade._ (_Photo, Antony, Ypres._)] _Take the road on the left which rejoins the Promenade, and turning again to the left, skirt "La Plaine d'Amour"_ (photos below and p. 91). Behind the prison walls there is a British cemetery in the gardens (photo, p. 91).
