In the next chapel, that of the Four Virgins, there is nothing to show where the aumbry or the piscina was. |
The aumbry, which is set in the pillar to the left of the altar, has a fluted bronze door. |
This monument partly hides an ancient niche or aumbry, where the wafer was probably kept in pre-Reformation times. |
A light burned outside the door of the aumbry to denote the presence of the sacrament. |
An aumbry was always conveniently placed near the fireplace at the end of the high table. |
Unlike many other features which may be found in a church the aumbry is usually very simple with little or no decoration. |
