No - they didn't do much dusting. But they used the rood loft in various
ways. Part of the liturgy would take place there. Candles would be lit there.
In Maxey Church, Cambs, the rood loft was big enough for an altar and the
piscina can still be seen there. These lofts must have been used a lot - many
of the stairways are quite worn.
