BAYEUX.
THE CATHEDRAL.—The large organ stands at the west end of the Church, with its Choir in front. It stands in a gallery, supported by a stone arch thrown across the nave. The great case consists of a large central tower with five pipes, surmounted by an urn, on each side of which is a flat of seven pipes, then a small tower, containing one pipe only; again a flat of seven pipes, and at each end of the case is a tower containing three pipes, which are supported by figures. The Choir Organ consists of a small tower of five pipes in the centre, with a flat on each side, and beyond them a taller tower of three pipes. The tone is full, but wanting in sweetness, and is deficient in bass. Under the arch, on the north side of the Choir, next the centre tower, is an Accompaniment Organ, in a very handsome case with three towers, and of fair quality in tone. About this district, most of the organs stand on an arch, thrown across the west end of the nave. 1866.
