Commandery [1]
(commenda, a benefice), or Preceptory (praeceptio. a first share), is a cell of the Templars and Hospitallers for collecting demesne-rents, and a home for veteran members of those orders. The president paid himself first his own pension, and then accounted for the residue. These houses remain at Swing-field, Cliburn, and Worcester.
