vicarage
Clergyman's official residence
A vicarage is the residence of a vicar—a member of the clergy in the Church of England or similar denominations.
The term evokes English village life, where the vicarage sits near the parish church: The new vicar moved into the vicarage last month.
By extension, vicarage can refer to a vicar's position or benefice.
