Hi Meg. It's a priory, as in Carrow Priory or (more correctly), St Mary's
Priory, Carrow.

Greetings all!
Probably all list members are familiar with Chaucer's prioress, so we know
such an office existed in female religious houses. My question is, however,
whether there is a recognized terminology for a female priory, i.e. a
religious house headed by a prioress rather than an abbess?
Meg
