Artifact Description

In studies of sacred space, the threshold of the church is understood as a liminal space separating the sacred space within the church building from the secular world outside. This panel seeks to expand our understanding of the relationship between churches and their urban environments by examining how medieval sacred and secular spaces were influenced by their proximity to one another. By situating church buildings within their urban environments, this panel hopes to explore the religious, political, social, and economic contexts of building projects as well as the role of the Church within the development of medieval cities and towns.Cathrine Besancon
