Premonstratensian Canons
Why does it take three Premonstratensian Canons to change a
light-bulb?
BECAUSE IT DAMN WELL DOES!!!
(Coat. Fetching.)
Actually, to be pedantic, there really *were* Premonstratensian Canonesses
in England. Orford Priory in Lincolnshire, for example.

Seems the order was founded by St. Norbert. Perhaps not the most
promising start.

Hello there, John Briggs and John Hall, and Thank you very much for
the word.
But "Glebe" seems to be particular to an "English" church, and at the
same time, not particular to the agrarian land.
A "grange" was a farm owned by a monastery or other religious house.
What religious houses (in practice) are there apart from monasteries?
|
Plenty. Schools for a start. Hospices. Chaplaincies. Nunneries.
