church. Edifice for public Christian worship, distinguished from a
chapel or
oratory, which in some respects are not public in the wider sense. Church-plans are of two basic types: the
basilican form with
clerestoreyed nave, lean-to
aisles, apsidal east end, and some kind of porch or
narthex; and the
centralized plan derived from
Byzantine domed spaces and from circular or polygonal
mausolea associated with important tombs and
martyria. The simplest type of church-plan (e.g. in
Anglo-Saxon times) consisted of a
nave (for the worshippers) and the smaller
chancel (for the clergy) containing the altar and approached through an arch. Larger, more important churches had several
chapels, two or four
transepts, towers, and other structures such as
cloisters, porches, a
baptistery, and a
chapter-house.
