Therfield
Therfield is a village and civil parish in the North Hertfordshire district of Hertfordshire, England. The village stands on a broad chalk ridge, about south-west of Royston. At its northern end, the parish includes the common land of Therfield Heath, which adjoins the edge of Royston. Toponymy There are several possible origins for the name Therfield. It may derive from "þyrre field", meaning "dry open land" in Old English. Alternatively, the "Ther" element may have derived from "furrow" or could be a theophoric reference to Thor. History There is evidence of prehistoric occupation in the area, particularly along the Icknield Way which forms the northern boundary of the parish. Five bowl barrows dating to the Bronze Age (c. 2000–700 BC) are clustered together on Therfield Heath. The Domesday Book of 1086 records 52 households at Therfield, including a priest, suggesting that Therfield was a parish by then. Therfield at that time was owned by Ramsey Abbey, to the nor ...

Vicar
A vicar (; Latin: '' vicarius'') is a representative, deputy or substitute; anyone acting "in the person of" or agent for a superior (compare "vicarious" in the sense of "at second hand"). Linguistically, ''vicar'' is cognate with the English prefix "vice", similarly meaning "deputy". It also refers to a senior priest in the Church of England.

In addition, in the Holy Roman Empire, a local representative of the emperor, such as an archduke, could be styled " vicar".

Canon (priest)
Canon () is a Christian title usually used to refer to a member of certain bodies in subject to an ecclesiastical rule. Originally, a canon was a cleric living with others in a clergy house or, later, in one of the houses within the precinct of or close to a cathedral or other major church and conducting his life according to the customary discipline or rules of the church. This way of life grew common (and is first documented) in the 8th century AD. In the 11th century, some churches required clergy thus living together to adopt the rule first proposed by Saint Augustine that they renounce private wealth. Those who embraced this change were known as Augustinians or Canons Regular, whilst those who did not were known as secular canons. Secular canons Latin Church In the Latin Church, canons are the members of a chapter, that is a body of senior clergy overseeing either a cathedral (a cathedral chapter) or a collegiate church. Depending on the title of the church, several lan ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
