Summary edit
| Description |
English: Prior Smythson's Screen, Hexham Abbey. For around 500 years this massive wooden screen has cut off the chancel from the crossing, nave and transepts; a broad platform or loft juts out over its ribbed and painted arches. Since 1819, the loft has been occupied by four successive organs - see 733966. The loft may once have been the setting for the Rood, a carved crucifixion. The screen is a pulpitum, designed to close off the canons during their worship in the choir. On the long beam below the vaulted arches at the base of the loft are the words (in Latin) "Pray for the Soul of Master Thomas S(mythson) Prior of this Church who made this Work". {Source: Hexham Abbey Leaflet No.5. } |
