British spelling variant of 'chanceled'; having a chancel or separated by latticed screens (specifically in church architecture).
From chancel + -ed, using British spelling conventions that preserve the double-l in words derived from Latin roots ending in -el (similar to 'jewelled' vs. American 'jeweled').
The difference between 'chanceled' (American) and 'chancelled' (British) is tiny but reveals a fundamental split: British English often preserves doubled consonants in derived forms, staying closer to older patterns, while American English simplified these conventions.
