What is a rector?
You may view this answer in its entirety along with more facts about ecclisiastical parishes here http://www.churchsociety.org/issues_new/churchlocal/iss_churchlocal_jargon.aspIn the days when Tithes were paid in England someone was entitled to receive the Tithe.A Rectory was a benefice in which the Tithe was paid to the Incumbent. The Incumbent was know as the Rector and the Benefice house, where he lived, was also known as the Rectory.
Technically a Rector is an Incumbent whose 'tithes are not impropriate'
