Definition
A variant or related term to faldstool, referring to a church bench or seat, especially one used by bishops or clergy.
Etymology
From Old English faldan (to fold) combined with Old English stōl (stool). This term appears in medieval church documents describing portable or folding seats used in religious ceremonies.
Kelly Says
Medieval churches had special folding benches for bishops—and the word faldistory shows how 'fold' and 'stool' combined to describe these early pieces of church furniture.
