PRESBYTERY

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 294 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: POL-PRE
PRESBYTERY , in architecture, that portion of the choir of a
church
  in which the high altar is placed, and which is generally raised by a few steps above the rest of the
church
 . It is reserved for the priests, and in that respect differs from the choir, the stalls in which are occasionally occupied by the laity. In Westminster Abbey the space
east
  of the
transept
  is the presbytery, and the same arrangement is found in
Canterbury
 
Cathedral
 . In San Clemente at Rome the presbytery is enclosed with a
marble
 
balustrade
  or screen. For the use of the word in Church government see PRESBYTER and PRESBYTERIANISM.
