How many beds were their in a medieval abbey dormitory?

Enough for all the monks to each have their own bed. It follows that the size of the dormitory depended on how many monks lived in the abbey - and that number was different from one abbey to another, and often changed over time. Only the abbot lived apart from the rest of the monks, since he had his own lodgings away from the central cloister ranges. To take just one example, at Milton Abbey in Dorset there were 40 Saxon monks before the Norman Conquest; there may have been 40 in the 12th century; by 1344 there were only 23 monks; on 27 January 1417 there were 15 monks; at the Dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII in the 1530s there were only 12 monks. Major abbeys in the 12th century generally housed 60 to 100 monks, but the largest (Christ Church Canterbury) was home to 150.

What religion do monks believe in?

Monasteries, abbeys and priories all have their own churches attached to the living quarters. Monastic churches are often large, ornate and grand buildings. In the UK some abbey churches were so grand that when the monasteries were destroyed by Henry VIII the churches survived, many of which became cathedrals afterwards as they were so grand. The churches were built by the monks themselves as many trained to be excellent masons and builders.


Where did church adminstrations live?

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".
