The rood screen, a magnificent architectural feature, is showcased in various churches across Europe. In Norwich Cathedral's Choir, Looking East, 1898, the unknown creator captures the grandeur of this ornate structure. Similarly, the Interior of Saint-Etienne-du-Mont church in Paris showcases a breathtaking example of a rood screen in all its glory. Moving to St Mary's Church in Worstead, Norfolk, we are treated to several black and white photographs that highlight different aspects of the rood screen. The first image presents the entirety of this exquisite piece while another focuses on intricate details that adorn it. Additionally, we catch glimpses of other elements within St Mary's Church such as its font and high altar. Further exploring Norfolk's religious heritage takes us to St. Agnes Church in Cawston where two more captivating photos showcase yet another stunning rood screen. Finally venturing beyond England's borders brings us to Manchester Cathedral where an image from 1942 reveals a glimpse into their own remarkable rendition of this architectural wonder. And lastly but certainly not least is an enchanting photograph capturing the interior of St Mark s in Venice by David Dalhoff Neal dating back to 1869. These images serve as testaments to the enduring beauty and significance of rood screens throughout history and across different cultures.
