Abstract	Hands-on investigation of the physical, sensory and emotional is a key feature of the Experience of Worship research project, with enactments of medieval liturgies as a central point (rather than a culmination) of the research process - offering a markedly different and innovative approach to practice-led research. This session, the first of two, investigates physical and sensory responses, drawing on recent enactments of late medieval Masses, Offices and a Procession in both Salisbury Cathedral and the small parish church of St Teilo, Llandeilo Talybont, now situated in St Fagans National History Museum Wales.
