[Bell Historians] Ringing curios

[Simon Bond]

Minster - The word is derived from Latin monasterium and was used for the
church belonging to a monastry or a chapter. Not that there is a monastry
round here that I know of. Preston has indeed only just become a Minster in
line with the awarding of city status to Preston.

This has reminded me of a question: Can anyone provide the definition
of a 'minster' church? I believe that Preston has only just become
one.
