6b Dennington, detail of loft for parclose of chapel of St. Margaret
and the Bardolph tomb. The loft, built about 1450 could accommodate
musicians, singers, or liturgical performances. Its parapet of pierced
tracery is four foot high and the internal width of the loft is two foot
seven inches. Such lofts were routinely built for rood screens that
separated the nave from the chancel. Most have been destroyed with
the injunctions against such screens in the Renaissance.
