Wikipedia
The chancel is the space around the altar at the liturgical east end of a traditional Christian church building. It may terminate in an apse. Following the exposition of the doctrine of transubstantiation at the fourth Lateran Council of 1215, clergy were required to ensure that the blessed sacrament was to be kept protected from irreverent access or abuse; and accordingly the area of the church used by the lay congregation was to be screened off from that used by the clergy.
