Out of curiosity, anyone know what they did with the anchoress's body when they died? Did they tear down the wall or something? --NeuronExMachina 18:38, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Anchorite vs Anchoress

The article's title is Anchorite, but the article itself refers almost exclusively to anchoresses. Should it perhaps be noted somewhere that the majority of people practicing this particular devotion were female? Were the majority of them female? I don't really know.
