An Anchorhold is a walled enclosure that surrounds a church where in earlier times an anchorite would live. It only has two windows one for food and the other offers a view of church sanctuary. The thought was that while the body was taken care of with food “divine food” could also be passed to the soul. The idea is monk and cell. It is dedicated to a famous anchorite John Norwich.
