medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Do we actually know how rood lofts in Parish Churches were actually used? I
am thinking of churches in Britain, but evidence from other countries would
be useful. I am not talking about the pulpitum in monastic or collegiate
churches, which we know had liturgical functions, but was there actually any
use in a parish church other than dressing the rood, candles before the rood
or (occasionally) housing a rood altar?
