manse
n.
house given to or occupied by the minister of a parish
Manse
A manse (
IPA pronunciation: ; from
Latin mansus, "dwelling", from manere, "to remain") is a house inhabited by, or formerly inhabited by, a
minister, usually used in the context of a
Presbyterian,
Methodist,
Baptist or
United Church.When selling a former manse, the
Church of Scotland always requires that the property should not be called "The Manse" by the new owners (but "The Old Manse" or other variations are acceptable). As a result, "manse" is intended to refer to a working building rather than simply apply as a name.
