THE RAMPARTS, LILLE GATE AND ST. PETER'S CHURCH
(Photo, Antony, Ypres.) See below.
This 11th century church had been largely rebuilt. The façade was surmounted by a substantial square tower, flanked by four corner turrets and crowned by an octagonal spire rebuilt in 1868.
AFTER FOUR YEARS' BOMBARDMENTS (see above).
Inside, lofty columns supported the springing of the large irregular arches. There was no vaulting, the church having a timber-work roof in shape of an inverted keel. In it were a 16th century altar, large carved pulpit and a fine choir-screen.
