This book is a detailed overview of the subject of Low Side Windows, a peculiar medieval architectural feature of uncertain purpose mainly found in British parish churches. The author explores the various theories concerning their uses, including light provision, confessional use, viewing of the rood, and even a connection with the ancient practice of exposing the dead. The book offers a careful examination of a significant proportion of the surviving examples, providing dimensions and other details, and considering how these structures may have been used during a time when mainstream church life was very different from today.
