Let’s say you’re a very influential person in your hometown, a baron or a direct descendant of its founder. If you offer land to build a new church, what can you expect in return?
In the case of Baroness Marie-Charles-Joseph Le Moyne Grant (a name that would fill two street signs), her request was to add a crypt where she and members of her family could be buried.
Today, this crypt is located in a sepulchral chapel dedicated to the Le Moyne family, beneath the co-cathedral, a place that can be admired through a display case in the museum. There are some 135 sealed enfeus – flat-bottomed niches built into a wall to house a tomb. With, we imagine, slightly shorter names.
