Found inWikipedia, 27 July 2010: under Monastery, redirected from Friary (in English usage, the term "monastery" is generally used to denote the buildings of a community of monks; the name "convent" tends to be used (inaccurately) for the buildings accommodating female monastics (nuns); it may also be used to reflect the Latin usage for houses of friars, more commonly called a friary)
