Nuns usually lived in convents, which had their own grounds and were not part of a manor or village
Nuns have always lived in monasteries. They are sometimes called an Abbey, but the Abbey strictly refers to the Church, while "monastery" refers to the entire complex. "Monastery" can refer to a place where Nuns live, or where monks live. The archaic term for where Nuns live and work was "Nunnery."
Monks lived in an abbey or priory (headed by an Abbot or Prior); nuns lived in a nunnery or convent headed by an Abbess or Prioress.
