chapterhouseIn church architecture, a building in which the canonical chapter of a monastery, cathedral, or collegiate church meets for the discussion of its affairs. It is often elaborately designed and ornamented, and usually polygonal, or octagonal, as at Lichfield and York. The position of the chapterhouse is usually to the west of the transepts of the church, to which it is connected either directly or by a passage from the cloister. Crypts are occasionally found beneath the floor.
