Best Answer

The priest usually had a cottage for himself, called a rectory and near the church. He also could have lived with someone else, and might have had a place in the manor house itself.

No, manors were part of a knight's "honour" - a group of manors held by each knight in different parts of the country.

The Church held farming estates known as "granges", which sometimes look a bit like a manor but seldom had any defensive function; these were often sited some distance from an abbey or priory and were used to administer and manage farming land belonging to the Church. They always had a chapel attached, as well as barns, workshops and sometimes a house for the use of the abbot or prior when visiting.

They lived in separate, religious quarters, Friaries ( Franciscans) Monasteries, rectories, and separate base-structures for the well-heeled Cathedral clergy. There were peasants among the lower clergy, but not the Cathedrals.
