COUTANCES.
THE CATHEDRAL.—At the west end of the church, supported by four pillars, arranged two and two on each side, stands a fine organ with the customary Choir in front. Among the sketches of David Roberts, which were sold after his death, was a very good one of this instrument. Under the north arch of the centre tower, stands a small modern Gothic Accompaniment Organ, consisting of four panels with flat tops. It is played from the front row of the Choir Stalls, the Choir, as at Caen, extending as far as the western arch of the centre tower. 1866.
ST. NICOLAS.—At the west end stands an old organ in a very English-looking case, with three towers, the largest of which is in the centre. As the case is flush with the front of the gallery, the key-board must be either at the back, or on one side of the instrument. 1866.
ST. PIERRE.—In a gallery, standing across the western bay of the nave, unsupported by pillar or arch, stands the organ with its Choir in front, in a very ordinary case. 1866.
