ABSTRACT = {The placement of doorways in medieval English parish sanctuaries and shrines was critical in structuring religious experience and community engagement. This study examines doorway locations' architectural and symbolic significance, considering how they mediated access to the divine and shaped social interactions within sacred spaces. Through analysis of historical records and architectural surveys, the research highlights the influence of doorway placement on ritual practices, theological symbolism, and communal boundaries. The findings suggest that doorways served as physical transitions and markers of spiritual thresholds, reinforcing religious hierarchies and shaping community interactions within the church.},
