James,

In lugnet.castle, James Stacey writes:

An abbey is a monastry (or convent) governed by an Abbot (or Abbess)

The confusion comes as churches that were once attached to an Abbey tend to
retain the name 'Abbey'

Ah I see. So am I essentially building a chapel then?

Thanks for the links, I like your church! Mine is on a similar scale, but not
quite as fancy architecture-wise. It is also built into the walls of my castle,
so the bell tower will double as a defensive tower. Not sure how realistic this
is, but it will have to do to conserve space.

cheers

Magnus
