Advowson
For the process for appointing a parish priest in the Church of England, see Parish.
Advowson (or "Patronage") is the right in English law of a patron (avowee) to present to the Diocesan Bishop (or in some cases the Ordinary if not the same person) a nominee for appointment to a vacant ecclesiastical benefice or church living, a process known as presentation (jus praesentandi, Latin: "the law of presenting"). The word derives, via French, from the Latin advocare, from vocare "to call" plus ad, "to, towards", thus a "summoning". In effect an advowson is the right to nominate a person to be parish priest (subject to episcopal approval), and such right was often originally held by the lord of the manor of the principal manor within the parish.
