The parclose Screen, separating the choir from the presbytery, is a peculiar feature of this Cathedral. |
On the occasion of the Biennale des Antiquaires, G. F. asked us to restore a parclose ensemble from the seventeenth century, whose sobriety we all admired. |
In the image of the mass, the priest elevates the host, an attendant rings the sacring bell, and two persons peek over the edge of the parclose. |
Within this screen, evidently a good many years later, a manorial pew was made, the side of which is within the parclose. |
The north porch, separated by a parclose from the chapel of the Cross, has an excellent Transitional door. |
Great inconvenience often arises from the exclusive character of the parclose. |
