Ailly-sur-Noye.—The Tomb of the "Bastard of St. Pol".
The village of Ailly-sur-Noye used to possess a 13th century church, replaced a few years ago by a new edifice, in which the following portions of the ancient building were retained (under the first window of the right-hand aisle):
1. A bas-relief crowned with pointed trefoil arcading, divided into three compartments, depicting from right to left: St. Martin cutting his mantle, The Crucifixion, and The presentation of the donor to Christ, by John-the-Baptist.
2. The tomb of Jean de Luxembourg, known as the Bastard of St. Pol. This tomb (Hist. Mon.), comprises a bluestone sarcophagus, the front of which is ornamented with five mourners, and each end with three other mourners sheltered under arcades. The covering stone is carved with the statues of Jean de Luxembourg and his wife, Catherine de la Tremouille, in demi-relief. Unfortunately, the upper part of these statues is damaged.
