Thimble-the-Vivien

Thimble-the-Vivien is a common French located in the department of the Mayenne and the area Pays of the Loire.

Geography

Thimble-the-Vivien is located at 12km Craon, 18km of Laval and a score of kilometers of Castle-Gontier. The commune of Thimble-the-Vivien located in the High-Anjou, belonged to the Mayenne angevine.

Geology

“ Schists Precambrian S. ” Daniel Œhlert.

The territory forms a vast furrowed plain with F0. by the course of the Oudon and multiple affluents that it receives there, formed for the majority within the parochial limits. The valley of Oudon does not show a 40 meters depth on more high-altitudes, with dimensions from 75 to 95 Mr. the other foothills are even less sensitive.

Ways

An old way, coming from the ford of Entrammes by the Northern limit of Quelaines, approached the borough directly. Main road of Castle-Gontier, distinct from the current road that it skirts according to the North-East, is recognizable. Hubert Jaillot made cross with the borough a direct road of Castle-Gontier with Glazed and that of Craon Laval, without counting a way of the Gravel and another energy with Nuillé-on-Vicoin.

The Chart of Cassini trace the rectified road of Craon to Laval, that of Thimble with Guerche-of-Brittany, and that of Craon with Vitré by Thimble and Gravel. The inhabitants, decided on the councils of their priest, to as well as repair “ the streets of the borough the entries and exits ” which were not practicable any more, obtained in 1733, an ordering payment of police force that “ the liftings of the ways which were formerly paved, will be repaved, and that the others will be at least adapted with ground and ballasting. ” main road of Thimble in Pertre is mentioned in 1598, 1611.

The cross-piece of Thimble was the worst passage of the way of Craon to Laval in 1747; it had only the width of a car, full with holes and rubbles, dug of 4,5 and 10 feet below the narrow margins which gave access to the houses, suspended kind on truths chasms. One improved this roadway only one year after the repair of the road of Craon to Laval, in 1756.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the road of Laval with Craon is national; that of Castle-Gontier in Guerche, secondary road; ways of great communication or shared interest and some local roads supplement the network which connects this large bored borough of partly montueuses streets, and which one mentions at the 17th century hotel trades of Sirine, Dish-in Étain, the Lion of Gold, the Dolphin, etc, with Quelaines (8 km E.); Cosmes (3 500 m S. - E.); Craon (12 km S.); Atheistic (6 km S. - 0. local); Bundles (13 km S. - 0.) ; Méral (6 km O.); Montjean (7 500 m NR.); Loiron (13 km NR.); Courbeveille (6 km NR.); Astillé (6 km NR. - E.). The railway of Laval with Nantes has a station to 200 m of the borough.

Surface

The surface is registered in 1817 per Mr. Faverie, 4.437 hectares.

The parish was formerly divided into two cantons: that of the borough. including/understanding 83 smallholdings, “ out of very good arable lands and meadows ” (1696); that of the Spring, beyond Oudon and of the poor Bridge-Randon, “ funds, 12 smallholdings, 1.397 arpents, of which: 750 out of arable lands, 250 in grazing ground, 210 in meadows, wood 97, 90 in moors and ungrateful grounds ”. The Spring paid the size with Craon on which it depended judicially; the vault of Boulay was useful for part of the villages. Louis-Julien Létard wanted in 1788 to establish a parish in this canton, and the lord of the Freeholds offered temporarily his vault and, moreover, gave on a purely final basis the ground for the church, the cemetery, a house and a field for the priest.

This one having let make waves its animals in corns of Jean de Boschet who put them as a fourrière, the pig-keeper took them again surreptitiously. Badly took some to him.

Under the influence of the priest Louis-Julien Létard and some leaders, the revolutionary spirit was felt dice the first hour. “ the borough, writes the sergeant of constabulary of Craon, is in complete anarchy in the month of October 1789 ”. One must send of Laval to stop the plunderers, of the troops which are received with rifle shots.

1791

The March 25th 1791, the municipality asks for the establishment of a gendarmerie squad. In July 1791, it has there no more safety for the castles.

1792

The national guard disarms and plunders the parishes of Astillé, Ahuillé and Nuillé on Vicoin, September 1792.

1793

The October 29th 1793, Cossé is taken by the Vendean ones which went on Craon; the garrison, strong from six hundred men and two guns, was withdrawn without fighting on Guerche. As of December 1793 a military station is established in Cossé, which does not cease during all the Revolution being, in the center of a country where Chouans were the Masters, the boulevard of the republicans; but in the middle of what a alarms! The streets were closed doors; the bridge on the road of Laval was defended by a cutting off and some parts of marine. The commune, the December 9th 1793 is with the number of those which with the appearance of Chouans with Cuillé and Genoa (Ille-et-Vilaine), will be imposed of a station of fifty homnies, will deliver all its grains, and will provide hostages.

There is an absolute lack of subsistence: one gives to the poor the rotted bread given up by the troop, March 9th 1794. Order is given to cut the brooms and “ hudins ” where withdraw Chouans, April 14th 1794.

But Chouans hold all the campaigns, and encircle the city (December 1794).

1795

Chouans remove the axles of the cars, January 8th 1795. The commander Bochonnier, of Craon, sends his “ acting columns ” to counter an attack of eight hundreds Chouans which one fears, February 28th. Giraud. ordering quartering, had written in this direction with the general Duhesme as of the February 21st, denouncing in particular the inhabitants of Ahuillé.

“ the position becomes more and more alarming, writes one the June 3rd 1795; we are encircled of all shares. We are unaware of what occurs to Laval as if we were with thousand miles. Largest of all our evils is the lack of subsistence ”. A detachment of one hundred forty men coming from Craon with a meat convoy is attacked the 9; the officer is killed. Armed robberies of all kinds, made by the republican troops, “ dishonor the republic and exasperate the population ”. During the winter, the situation worsens: the bridges are cut; ways blocked by the shot down trees; one fights the every day. The August 2nd 1795, arrest of a convoy. The August 3rd 1795, Aimé of Boisguy came with Bonteville, with the head of 2.000 Chouans, between Cossé and Craon, and held head during three days with the general Claude Ursule Gency left Castle-Gontier with the 85e and 454e half-brigades and 4 parts of gun.

Chouans become more, bolder; “ the public spirit deteriorates appreciably in consequence of the taxes and of the devastation of the republican troops.

1796

It seems that one has any more no reproach to make in Chouans ”. When the latter return the weapons, in May 1796, they “ seem to make thanks to the place to receive it ”.

1797

As of January 1797, concerns reappear. The tree of freedom, “ whose strength and beauty express so well, known as Létard, our patriotic feelings ”, is not any more in safety. “ the public spirit vanishes; … Chouans continue to reign (September 24th). The 26 and the 29 fructidor year V, the police chief of the executive directory, with seven citizens, the Justice of the Peace and his assessors, send to the Directory an address of congratulation for the Coup d'etat of the 18 fructidor.

The July 17th 1799, it is necessary to repair the fortifications. The Dissatisfied ones enlist young people, stop harvests. “ here Us are still encircled ”, written Létard. The priory is strengthened. It is there that the stations must be folded up in the event of invasion.

1799

The September 26th 1799, the royalist general Louis-Marie-Antoine-Auguste-Fortunate of Andigné sends at three o'clock in the evening a summation to go in fifteen minutes. But twelve hundred men are pushed back after a combat of shooting which lasts up to ten hours and withdraw with the Vault-Craonnaise and Denazé. The republicans of Thimble say to have dealt the September 26th 1799 with 1.200 men of Mr. d' Andigné; however this one had of them only 400 with the business of Drowning which took place the 21; there is thus there the ordinary exaggeration. According to Andigné its failure came from the obligation which made him its officers send a summation. Its assistant medical officer, according to the correspondent of the general Jacques Darnaud, was Alexandre. The 27 and the 28, Cossé fears a renewed attack and requires ammunition. The 30 the Darnaud general prepares a forwarding towards Cossé, and one proposes to ask for the contest of the garrison of Craon. In spite of that, on October 1st, all the administrations and even the citizens ask for helps or means of of folding up themselves on Craon. “ One needs an important help to break this torrent devastator ” of Chouans. It is known that the retirement was done on Laval.

During the suspension of fighting (December 1799), Saint-Robert with his Chouans has its general headquarter with Cossé, perceives the tenant farming of the goods national and made requisitions in appear close. The December 17th 1799, 300 men ordered by Saint-Robert, the Holly-plantation, said Boucanneur, former gendarme, and Legerot, occupied Cossé; there were nothing any more but one about fifteen riders of the escort of Saint-Robert the January 4th 1800.

1800

The January 3rd 1800, they put fire at the bell-tower, and leave only after complete pacification. The tender was made in the canton only the March 10th 1800.

1815

The May 27th 1815, Andigné seized with 1500 royalists the borough, where it was surprised in the night of the 28 to the 29 by a pomegranate detachment. There was a bloody combat under the markets. The same night, one of the royalist chiefs, Henri of Saint-Saver, was assassinated. The major Michel Guesdon thus explains the business of Thimble to which it assisted in the night from May 28th to 29th 1815. The general of Andigné had 1.500 men dispersed in the borough. Hundred fifty national gendarmes or guards arrived from Laval at three o'clock in the morning, “ passed between the sentry who was on the bridge and that of front the weapons ”. The station ordered by Mr. Ambroise d' Armaillé made his duty; the gendarmes found such a resistance that they were stopped. One had time to arrive the Help!. One had pushed back them as of this moment if one had not preferred to leave the borough to put itself in battle. At this point in time the troop massacred those which had not been able to be withdrawn. Henri of Saint-Saver, Norman gentleman, made of the day before, was number of killed; Mr. de Bodard, bored of nine wounds, remained on the place for death. The two aide-de-camps of the general were Misters de Caradeuc and of Boberil. When she lives herself on the road of Craon opposite the royalists arranged in battle, the small troop of gendarmes was withdrawn. The general of Andigné was at the beginning of the action surrounded republican gendarmes and had his killed horse. He says to have had only thousand men who were to go on Castle-Gontier. The gendarmes would have been approximately three hundreds who withdrew themselves on Laval after their knack.

Fairs and gone

Fairs and markets created with the profit of the lord of Torchant by letters patent of 1570, remained without effect and null and void, say the officers of Laval in 1743, who recognize however that the markets belong to Mr. Clerk of Terchant.

The market of Thursday and six fairs every year are mentioned in the Report of Mr. the Clerk of Flécheray (1680). The bushel of Thimble contained a bushel and half of Laval. In 1752, gone Thursday, four fairs, all Thursday: second week of Lent, after Pentecost, the Saint-Augustin and Saint-Denis. “ These fairs are famous, known as Pierre-François Davelu, and the rather convenient markets. ” the import duties for oxen or cows were of 40 grounds, for calves 12 grounds, the sheep or goats of 4 grounds, and 2 sums of money per meat pound. Mr. de Terchant leased them per annum 60 books, at the end of the 17th century.

One mentions with the borough, in 1750, the house of the Fountain-Houdion. “ has Thimble, written Jul. The Clerk of Flécheray (1689), there are several pastoral streets, the borough contains approximately hundred houses.

The parishioners say in 1789 that they are only subjected to these rights in the election of Laval, and ask, if they are not removed, that they are applied for half “ to so essential work of need and so multiples of the borough ”. In spite of the twelve fairs per annum and the two markets per decade issued by the Republic, nobody could go to the borough, encircled by the Chouan S. - At the beginning of the 20th century, fairs the January 9th (1884), second Thursday of Lent, Thursdays after the Low Sunday and Pentecost, last Thursdays of July and aoùt, second Thursday of October; market of food products, and grains (1841), every Friday.

Religion

Parish

Parish formerly of the diocese of Mans, archidiaconé and the deanery of Laval, the election of Laval for the canton of the borough, of Castle-Gontier for the Spring, the legal spring and the attic with salt of Laval; - district of Craon and chief place of canton for Thimble and Cosmes in 1790; - mission of Laval in 1797, set up cleans some and deanery by decree of the 5 nivôse year XIII, of the archpriest of Castle-Gontier; two vicariates, set up by decree of the July 27th 1818. Until 1897, there was a third vicar remunerated by the factory.

Church

The old church, dedicated to Holy Gervais and Saint Protais was on the central place of the borough, notably increased by its disappearance. Built at various times, mainly at the 15th century, it had low sides and five furnace bridges: those of the Sacred Heart and the Holy-Virgin at the sides of the high altar and, leant with the pillars of the bottom of the chorus, the furnace bridges of Saint-Louis and Saint-Sebastien. She was “ small but rather beautiful ” with the judgment of Pierre-François Davelu (1780).

In 1500, the parishioners “ as well of Church, noble as layz ”, had asked for the abbot of Saint-Florent of “ the accroistre of X feet or approximately on the court of the priory, the third party of the parishioners not being able there to enter ”. One left to the prior his “ guischet and his benches on the chorus and chanzeau ”. This work was carried out. - The church had organ whose, known as priest Louis-Julien Létard, “ the dresser was dévalisé by the soldiers of the revolutionary army ” (June 2nd 1796).

The new Romance church, built 1866 with 1876 within Mr. Lemesle, is a little apart from the agglomeration, in the axis of a new street. Internally, for the Abbot Angot, it is a majestic vessel, of imposing aspect with its three naves, its immense transept, its multiple blind arcades, the richness of its sculptures, carried out by Mr. Blusseau, child of the parish. The chorus, rich person and piles, are decorated beautiful canopies and of five great compositions on gold bottom, carried out by Mr. Vivet according to Flandrin, Johann Friedrich Overbeck, etc, representing four scenes of the life of the Virgin and, in the center, the Saver blessing between Gervais saint and holy Protais. No church of the diocese presents a more imposing aspect. The Angot abbot wonders why it is necessary that at twenty-five years of age this monument is already tiny room to lose its arrow out of stones and its tower which threatened ruin! The dedication was made the July 15th 1877.

The church of a majestic beauty internally, was not built unfortunately under the desired conditions of solidity. One had to demolish the arrow and, more delicate work, to take again the insufficient bases of part of the walls (April 1903). The inventory of 1906 took place in the first fortnight of February, after the promise not held by the agent to insert the common protest of the clergy and the fabricians, and in the presence of the parishioners. Those, invited to calm, requested throughout act which revolted them.

The holder was assigned with sat of Mans to put it in state repair, in 1457. In 1756, one still did work there.

A prior and two monks resided, in 1271. The Conventualité was maintained there, at least until the beginning of the 16th century, because a monk made there his wish of stability in 1500.
