Apsidiole

An apse with two apsidoles at the orthodox cathedral of Jaroslavl in Russia

An apsidole or absidiale is a small or secondary

apse-chapels when they project on the exterior of the church, particularly if the projection resembles an apse in shape.^[1]

Francis Bond [2] says that the Norman plan of eastern limb, which the Norman builders brought over to England at the Conquest, contained a central apse flanked by apsidioles.
