Chapel
"A chapel is a holy place or area of worship for Christians, which may be attached to an institution such as a large church, a college, a hospital, a palace, a prison or a cemetery, or may be free-standing and unattached to another building."- Wikipedia: Chapel
"A chapel can either be an alcove with an altar in a large church, or a separate building that is smaller than a full-sized church. Chapels have the same function as church buildings and are equipped the same way, but they are usually dedicated to special use." - Ken Collins
Radiating chapels: Small, semi-circular chapels arranged around the apse of large church. Example: Chartres Cathedral, Chartres, France
