Chapter HouseFrom the informational sign at the Worcester Art Museum:

Originally part of the Benedictine priory of St. John, founded at the end of the 11th century at Le Bas Nueil, a hamlet north of Poitiers in west central France. The room was removed in its entirety from France and rebuilt in the Musuem in 1932 with few minor substitutions of masonry in the vaulting and a portion of the tile floor.

    It reminds me of the “Hall of Guards” inside of La Conciergerie in Paris, France.
