What are medieval abbey's?

Medieval abbeys were churchs were nuns went to pray Answer: Medieval Abbeys were monasteries where an Abbot or Abbess was in charge of a community of monks or nuns. They were generally much larger than Priories, which had a Prior or Prioress in charge An Abbey had a very large church (sometimes as big as a cathedral), a cloister surrounded by the main monastic buildings (refectory, Chapterhouse, dormitory, storehouse, warming-room and library) and other buildings beyond these: a guest-house, kitchen, barns, brew-house, bakery, infirmary, gardens, a cemetery, orchards, beehives and so on, all within a walled enclosure or precinct Abbeys could control Priories in the same area, as well as some parish churches; they also owned large amounts of farmland and monastic farms called granges. An example is St Augustine's Abbey at Canterbury in Kent, which controlled Canterbury Cathedral Priory (even though the archbishop was based there) - it also owned many of the surrounding villages, including the seaside town of Sandwich which provided huge stocks of fish for the monks to eat.
