This article appears in Volume V17, Page 599 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAL-MAR
MANSE (Med. Lat. manse, manses or mansum, from manere, to dwell, remain) , originally a dwelling-
house
  together with a portion of land sufficient for the support of a family. It is defined by Du Cange (Glossarium, s.v. Manus) as . . . certam agri portionem quae coleretur et in qua coloni aedes esset. The
term
  was particularly applied, in ecclesiastical law, to the
house
  and
glebe
  to which every
church
  was entitled by common right,
the
rule
  of
canon
  law being sancitum est ut unicuique ecclesiae unus mansus integer absque ullo servitio tribuatur (Phillirmore, Eccles. Law, 1895, ii. 1125). The word is now chiefly used for the residence of a minister of the Established
Church
  of
Scotland
 ; to this every minister of a rural parish is entitled, and the landed proprietors must build and keep it up. "
Manse
  " is also loosely used for the residence of a minister of various Free Church denominations (see
GLEBE
 ).
