What does PRIORY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A religious house of monks or nuns, ranked below an abbey and governed by a prior or prioress.
A priory was often founded as a daughter house of a larger abbey, and in practice it could be a small cloister with only a few members. Many English place names preserve the word, because the buildings outlived the communities that built them. After the sixteenth-century dissolution of the monasteries, numerous priories became farms or country houses, and their ruins still dot the landscape.
How PRIORY is used
Used for both the community and the buildings; often found in names such as Priory Road.
