what sort of prayers??

Of course. They're prayer sequences. Vespers are evening prayers. They're mostly used in the Catholic and Episcopal churches. I believe the Orthodox Church uses similar prayers, as well.
There are Matins, Lauds, Prime, Terce, Sext, None, Vespers and Complines. Collectively, they're called the canonical Offices. In the Catholic Church, they can be used with the Office of Our Lady.
Here's one prayer schedule that I found online:
Matins - 3 am (or before the beginning of the day)
Lauds - 6 am (beginning of the day)
Terce - 9 am
Sexte - 12 pm (mid-day)
None - 3 pm
Vespers - 6 pm (at the end of the workday)
Complines - 9 pm (before going to bed)
You can find today's vespers here:

Solarius gave a good answer. Just to add what kind of prayers they are - mostly psalms are used, but the liturgy of the hours also includes litugical prayers. These prayer services generally include a lot of singing or chanting, but also can include scripture readings (vespers does).

I know a girl named Sheridan. Though I prefer it on a boy. You know the British comedy 'Keeping Up Appearances'? The main characters son's name is Sheridan. I quite like it :)

Are you trying to remember "compline"? Actually there are more than five. I hope you enjoy praying - you're going to be very busy. ;-)

yes, they're terms used in the catolic and sometimes lutheran episcopal service.

Sure. They are prayer and hymn times in the monastery/abbey.
