	Choirs
		In a church or cathedral, the choir, or quire, is the area between the nave and the sanctuary or presbytery; the Apse lies beyond, at the farthest East end.
		Terminology: A vocal ensemble which sings in a church, or sings exclusively sacred music, is called a ''choir'', whereas an ensemble which performs the non-soloist parts of an opera or musical theatre production (or sometimes an oratorio) is called a ''chorus''.
		For example, in a symphony orchestra, the group of brass instruments is called the ''brass choir''.

	Cathedral diagram - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The semi-circular end of the church around the high altar, which corresponds to the apse in Romanesque and Roman architecture, is often expanded into a passage called an ambulatory (from the Latin to walk), with radiating chapels disposed around the outer wall of the ambulatory.
		The plans show structural stonework; they omit the usual rood screen ("rood" meaning "cross") dividing the nave from the choir (earlier, "quire"), which may be almost as long as the nave, as at Salisbury (below, left).
		At the far east end, on the axis formed by nave and sanctuary, a larger chapel is often dedicated to the patron saint of the church, or to Mary, the mother of Jesus, this in medieval English usageis a Lady Chapel.

	BeenThere-DoneThat: St. Albans Cathedral, Hertfordshire.
		Of particular note inside is the nave architecture, the 13th Century wall paintings, the Quire with its vaulted ceiling and Wallingford Screen and last, but certainly not least, the Shrine of Saint Alban with its Watching Chamber.
		When we arrived in St. Albans we made straight for the cathedral and availed ourselves of the toilets (couldn't be faulted) and then the self-service restaurant which provides a good standard, and variety, of refreshments.
		Albans Cathedral may not be as grand as York Minster or Winchester Cathedral but is no less interesting and in fact could be considered more interesting.
