a screen, either wooden or stone, separating the chancel of the church from the nave; it symbolically separated the congregation from the ritual domain of the priest

A screen separating the nave from the chancel and having the rood upon it.

A screen, often of wood and including a crucifix, that separates the nave from the sanctuary portion of a church.

A dividing wall between the central nave in which the community watched the service and the choir that was reserved for the clerics. Rood screens were common since the 13th century. The rod screen usually had one or more openings but limited the sight into the choir. Rood screens did not fit into the new liturgy (mainly because of the reformation) because they stood between the community and the Sacrifice of the Mass. For this reason most rood screens were destroyed in the late middle age. Schleswig: Entries U to Z

The rood screen (also choir screen or chancel screen) is a common feature in late medieval church architecture, dividing the chancel from the nave. It was often surmounted by a loft (called the rood loft) on which stood the rood itself, a large figure of the crucified Christ, set high up, usually level with the springing of the chancel arch. Sometimes the rood loft was also substantial enough to be used as a singing gallery; access was via a rood stair.
