One of the most elusive aspects of medieval religious life is how people actually worshipped, that is, how they used the spaces demarcated for religious activity. Evidence of segregation within parish churches is often sought in an attempt to establish the dynamics of medieval parish life- did parishioners have a perception of some form of hierarchy of worship within their church? This essay will analyse the material evidence of one particular parish church-Holy Trinity in Goodramgate, York-in order to suggest the existence of screens as a physical and psychological barrier/delimiter of space in several parts of the building. Firstly, a brief outline of the history of the main fabric of the church will be given. Secondly, the material evidence for the suggested screens will be presented. Finally, a brief discussion of the potential social implications of the segregation by screens will suggest avenues for future, interdisciplinary research. There is brief documentary evidence of a church on the current site of Holy Trinity in the late-eleventh century, but the earliest physical evidence within the fabric of the present building dates from the twelfth century. As with many civic parish churches, Holy Trinity’s development was an organic process, with modifications being made over time (fig. 1). Th
