Abstract
Various ‘spaces’ of Christian worship are explored in this chapter, from the spiritually charged space of the saint’s shrine, to the local cemetery, to the interior of the parish church. Change over time is addressed throughout, particularly in regard to the developments in church building across the thirteenth century, as the new ‘gothic’ style was established in the region. At the same time, however, it is noted that older ‘romanesque’ churches remained common, and it is suggested that an important element in the lived experience of lay worship would be an increased awareness of contrasting spaces and material circ*mstances, for example for liturgical performance. The interior material features of parish churches are also analysed, including crucifixes, bells, retables, and other decoration—noting however that there may have been rather fewer wall paintings until quite a late date than scholarship might previously have assumed. The chapter uses an array of evidence, including one very rich fourteenth-century diocesan visitation record for Aix, and includes visual images. It concludes with discussion of the fraught area of eucharistic materiality.
