The office, jurisdiction, or district under the authority of a beadle.
From beadle plus the suffix -ery, which denotes a place, activity, or collection (like 'pottery' or 'bakery'). This suffix creates concrete nouns for the domain or workspace associated with the root word.
Beadlery is a wonderfully obscure term that shows how English could turn any official position into a defined territory—it's the spatial equivalent of beadlehood, suggesting a specific patch of parish that belonged to one beadle's jurisdiction.
Beadlery (office/domain of beadles) institutionalizes male-only access to civic/religious authority; space itself was gendered masculine.
Reference historically; acknowledge these were male-exclusive institutional spaces.
