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?
