an elevation of the portal of the Romanesque church here -- a local note informs that traces of a late-12thC Romanesque portal were discovered during restoration work in 1990-1997; it was probably demolished in the 16th or 17th century and replaced by the present Gothic one.

Font Notes: Click to view

Putte (1847) mentions an ancient font of porphyry destroyed in the last fire at Saint-Sauveur [NB: the fire happened in 1839]. Walker (1883) notes and illustrates an object described as the font then at this church, octagonal and moulded all over. On-site notes: we found two fonts in this church, both of them modern; 1)one is located in a chapel at the W end of the S aisle; this font, which could be 16th-century, appears to be made of dark Tournai limestone and it consists of a moulded octagonal basin raised on a moulded octagonal pedestal base, with a splaying lower base of the same shape; the general design would fit fonts in this area from the 16th through the 19th century; it has a modern font cover consisting of a wooden platform with two semicircular ribs crossing at the top; 2)the second font, located in the Droogscheerderskapel, is modern, perhaps 19th-century, consisting of a large octagonal marble font decorated with an incised arcade of trefoiled arches and a large coat-of-arms with the motto "ME STELLA DUCE"; the inside of the basin is divided into two compartments, as many modern are. The arms are identified in Chassant & Tausin (1878): "Me stella duce.- Tieghem de ten Berghe (Belgique.) -- Armes: d'or à ta fasce de gueules chargée d'une épée d'argent garnie d'or, posée en fasce et accompagnée de trois étoiles d'azur." [cf. BSI entry for Bruge No. 14 for the two later fonts mentioned above]
