Definition
The eastern end of a church choir or sanctuary, often featuring radiating chapels and an apse in medieval architecture.
Etymology
From Old French chevet meaning 'head' or 'pillow' (from Latin caput), referring to the head of the church—the sanctuary where the altar is situated.
Kelly Says
Medieval builders understood symbolism: just as your head directs your body, the chevet was the 'head' of the church directing all prayer toward God, and they often decorated these eastern ends with the most intricate stone carvings and windows.
