Barrier separating side chapels from the rest of the church
Parclose screen, c. 1530, of the Moorhayes Chapel, Cullompton Church, Devon, England. Looking north-west from within the chancel. Part of the brightly decorated, higher, chancel screen is visible beyond.
A parclose screen is a screen or railing used to enclose or separate-off a chantry chapel,[1] tomb or manorial chapel, from public areas of a church, for example from the nave or chancel. It should be distinguished from the chancel screen which separates the chancel from the nave, in order to restrict access to the former to clerics and other select persons.
