Parvise
Parvise or parvis may refer to: ⁕A room over the porch of a church — quite often found in Norman churches in England. In some churches these rooms were used for school rooms and in Castle Ashby was the home of a woman - who saved the manor house from burning when she saw the fire taking hold from her room. ⁕The enclosed area or court in front of a building — particularly a building such as a cathedral or a church. In some places they are like a cloister, surrounded with either colonnades or porticoes. As a result, when applied to a single portico or colonnade in front of a church, this gives rise to the description of a church porch. The word 'parvis' derives via Old French from the Late Latin 'paradisus', meaning 'paradise'.
