Eventually, some pics of my latest Secanda models. Doesn't time fly...?
First up is Chapelle Saint-Tremeur au Guilvinec from the late fifteenth century. It has no western door because western doors were reserved for funerals alone, and as funerals were only carried out in churches, why bother with an extra source of draught from the windy Brittany coast?
Then what has become a favouite in our home, the tiny Chapelle Sainte-Agathe de Langon. It began life as a private bath house for an ancient Roman villa and was converted to religious use in the Middle Ages. There have been no services inside, which boasts a Roman wall painting, since the French Revolution.
