manses
Where pastors dwell
Manses is the plural of manse, a house provided for a member of the clergy, especially in Protestant traditions.
The Presbyterian and Methodist churches historically provided manses for their ministers: The old stone manses along Church Street date back to the 1800s.
The word sometimes extends to any grand or stately residence.
