Rouen

CHURCH OF ST. LAURENT

(T. S. Boys)

Block Print of the decorated letter THE small churches of Rouen, none of them perhaps highly important, still present points of interest and appeal to both the architect and the painter. Among them are St. Vincent and St. Patrice (both notable for their fine XVIth-century stained-glass windows), St. Gervais and St. Godard. Near the latter is the little square — the statue of Flaubert in its centre — in which stands the Church of St. Laurent. The surroundings of the building present to-day a very different appearance from those in the time of Boys’ sketch. Then 188 desecrated and half ruined, it has since been restored. It is in the flamboyant style, its fine tower, however, dating from quite the end of the XVth century.
