medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
One issue must have been whether or not there was lockable sacristy. My
research on the Arena Chapel suggests that there wasn't a sacristy to begin
with (valuables were probably kept in the nearby palace), and one was only
built later once funds became available. Its orginal door, (heavily plated,
studded and with locks), is still in situ though it's been rehung several
times.
