Where did church adminstrations live?

Answer 1

Living quarters were usually supplied by the church adjacent to or behind churches for the minister and family and were called the Parsonage.

ANSWER

In Christian terms and depending on the denomination to which you refer, there are many, many terms used to describe the accommodation provided for the administration or clergy of a church. In the Roman Catholic Church alone there are several terms eg. Parish priests live in a "presbytery". Monks are said to live in an "abbey", "monastery" and on occasions, a "convent", although "convent" is most often used in associations with nuns. The Franciscan order and a reform group, The Capuchins live in a "friary". Yet another reform group, The Conventual Franciscans live in a "convent". Other Roman Catholic Orders eg. The Dominicans live in a "priory".

The clergy of the Anglican Communion may live in a "vicarage" or "rectory". They also have orders of monks, eg. Franciscans who also live in a "friary".

Many protestant religions call the accommodation of their clergy a "manse" or as mentioned in Answer 1, a "parsonage".
