Where did Medieval priests live?

Answer 1

Priests lived in small houses near to their parish church, often with a small plot of land attached for growing vegetables or raising a few animals. Priests depended for their income entirely upon their parishioners, so in major centres of population priests would be quite well off.

In small rural parishes with fewer people (who were themselves generally poor), priests struggled and many lived in poverty and near to starvation.

The "deserted medieval village" of Wharram Percy in Yorkshire was mainly occupied between the 12th and 14th centuries, then abandoned. Its Archaeology preserves the layout of a typical small medieval village, with only the church of St Martin still standing. The priest's house (called "parsonage" by the archaeologists) was just to the south of the church in its own small plot.
