Manse is the popular name applied to the residence
of clergymen generally in Scotland whether they be of the
dissenters or of the established church. The Free church
manse, The manse Scheme of the Free church, &c are
Phrases frequently heard, although the clergymen of
the above manse would maintain that the name is
not applicable to any but the residence of the clergy
of the established church and therefore would call
their house, Chapel House But as manse has been
written hitherto on the ordnance plans
to the residence of clergymen generally it is therefore
proper to write manse (Roman Catholic) in the above
instance.
