- n a church officer who takes care of the interior of the building and acts as an attendant (carries the verge) during ceremonies
- Through the open portal came a verger.
- What does the verger fear? That the builders of the new society will fall upon the Christians, that they will beat them up? The onlookers share his fear.
- Three times his own verger had turned away the cat that wandered unannounced from the turmoil of Watling Street to make her home in his church.
