Definition
A chapel or small church that stands before or is attached to a larger chapel; a vestry or sacristy.
Etymology
From 'ante-' (before) + 'chapel.' Used in ecclesiastical architecture to describe smaller worship spaces leading to or preparing for the main chapel.
Kelly Says
In colleges like Oxford and Cambridge, antechapels served as secular entrance halls to the religious chapels—a clever way to honor tradition while allowing non-religious use.
