CHANTRY (Fr. chanterie, from chanter, to sing; Med. Lat. cantuaria)

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 849 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAU-CHA
CHANTRY (Fr. chanterie, from chanter, to sing; Med. Lat. cantuaria) , a small chapel built out from a
church
 , endowed in pre-Ref ormation times for the
express
  purpose of maintaining priests for the chanting of masses for the soul of the founder or of some one named by him. It generally contained the
tomb
  of the founder, and, as the officiator or
mass
 -priest was often unconnected with the parochial clergy, had an entrance from the outside. The word passed through graduations of meaning. Its first sense was singing or chanting. Then it meant the endowment funds, next the priests, and then the
church
  or chapel itself.
