English term or phrase: the people of the Close
Hi,
I'm translating a brochure about the Norwich Cathedral and I don't know what sense "the Close" takes in the following sentence:
"St Luke's Chapel. this also serves as the parish church for the people of the Close"

Does it have the same meaning as "the community" or "parishioners" ? How would you translated?

Muchas gracias,
Marimar

la gente de las cercanías
Explanation:
yo lo traduciría como "iglesia parroquial para la gente de las cercanías". El "close" hace referencia al espacio cerrado o muy claramente definido que rodea una catedral, o "precinct". Suerte en tu traducción!

agree  Charles Davis: "Recinto" would be my choice, and indeed it was chosen in another question about Norwich Cathedral Close earlier this year: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/english_to_spanish/architecture/42...
