Katherine Boivin, Assistant Professor of Art History, Bard College, published an article “The Chancel Passageways of Norwich,”  in the British Archaeological Association’s issue dedicated to Norwich: Medieval and Early Modern Art, Architecture and Archaeology. The article focuses on two important churches in Norwich, St. Peter Mancroft and St. Gregory Pottergate, relating these examples to others in England and continental Europe. Professor Boivin considers the possible ritual uses and meanings of these passageways in relationship to neighboring spaces, the surrounding cemetery, and the wider city.
