Apsidiole
FREE Catholic Classes
(Also written ABSIDIALE).
A small or secondary apse, one of the apses on either side of the main apse in a triapsidal church, or one of the apse - chapels when they project on the exterior of the church, particularly if the projection resembles an apse in shape. Bond ( Gothic Architecture in England , 163) says that the Norman plan of eastern limb which the Norman builders brought over to England at the Conquest, contained a central apse flanked by apsidioles.
