This article appears in Volume V05, Page 947 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHA-CHR
CHARNEL HOUSE (Med. Lat. carnarium) , a place for depositing the bones which might be thrown up in digging
graves
 . Sometimes, as at
Gloucester
 , Hythe and Ripon, it was a portionof the
crypt
 ; sometimes, as at Old St
Paul
 's and Worcester (both now destroyed), it was a
separate
  building in the
church
 -yard; sometimes chantry chapels were attached to these buildings. Viollet-le-Duc has given two very curious examples of such ossuaires (as the French
call
  them)one from Fleurance (
Gers
 ), the other from Faouet (Finistere).
