| Jun 16, 2018 at 19:23 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | I disagree with 'Googling shows that it’s not a rare word combination'. The few examples I've seen are literal usages, and there are too few for this to be an idiom. Examples of 'rook-haunted churches' shows that it's not fanciful to consider rooks roosting within big old buildings, and living quarters for curates and bishops in those days would probably qualify. | |
