Historic Churches of Buckinghamshire
Historic Churches of Buckinghamshire is a project launched in 2018, with only a few churches included at the moment.
Screens - The most common Screens are Chancel Screens (usually under a Chancel Arch). At some times over the centuries they formed significant barriers between the Nave and Chancel, separating Congregation and Clergy. Screens can also be in other locations such as Aisles, Transepts, Chapels, and Tower Arches. They are usually timber, but can be stone, or a combination of both.
