rectories

Where pastors live

Rectories is the plural of rectory, the residence provided for a rector—a member of the clergy, especially in Anglican or Episcopal churches.

The rectory typically sits on church grounds near the parish: The old rectories in English villages often date back centuries.

In Catholic usage, the term applies to a priest's house attached to a church.
