Image Details

Title Craswell Priory, doorway and piscina
Description Black and white photograph of the internal remains of Craswell Priory. A piscina is a shallow basin placed near the altar of a church, or else in the vestry or sacristy, used for washing the communion vessels. The sacrarium is the drain itself. Anglicans usually refer to the basin, calling it a piscina. Roman Catholics usually refer to the drain, and by extension, the basin, as the sacrarium.
