Narthex: an antechamber, porch, or distinct area at the western entrance 
of some early Christian churches, separated off by a railing and used by 
catechumens, penitents, etc.
In a modern church it is an antechamber or large porch typically used as 
an entrance.

Thanks for your comments, and I'm off for a midnight snack after looking 
at your PAW...
