medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
rood lofts in england sometimes had organs, sometimes had
chapels/altars, and sometimes housed the parish chest. my guess is that
if they had chapels or altars they would have been included in the
processions.
as for choirs--i think i've seen references to children/boys as
choristers, but i can't quite place where i've seen it.
