An architectural term for a story or level of a building, especially in medieval churches, that has no windows or has false windows (windows that don't actually open).
From 'blind' (not allowing light through) plus 'storey' (a floor or level of a building), British spelling of 'story.' Common in medieval and Renaissance architecture.
Medieval cathedral builders used blind stories cleverly—false windows on these hidden levels created the illusion of a taller, more impressive building, while the real engineering was hidden inside.
