There was once a Parson with a small holding in which he grew his own veg and reared chickens. He also brewed his own wine. One evening, after imbibing rather a lot of his elderberry vino, he walked in his garden. With rather a swagger and double vision he stumbled over a very bulbous sprout, landed fully prostrate with his face in the **** of a chicken which had also escaped for an evening constitutional. Hitherto, the Parson having been assisted to extricate his nose from the foul's rectum, the said portion of the unfortunate bird has been reverently referred to as the Parson's nose.

Traditionally parsons were known to be liberal drinkers (Communion wine etc) As a result of this they developed a rather bulbous nose and florid complexion which resembled the rear end of the plucked chicken. Ergo 'Parson's Nose)

From a parson whose nose was always so high in the air a chicken could perch on it. It's a term to humble those who think they are better than everyone else.

In Ireland it was referred to as the pope's nose. Since most popes were Roman, I would suggest that it referred to the 'roman' or big, prominent Italian nose originally.

Big, soft and fleshy. The sign of good living that the church often attracts for itself.
