A Church.
Medieval literacy was concentrated in the Church: monks, priests and other clergy were taught to read and write (often in Latin) in monasteries and cathedral schools. Castles might have a few literate officials or a noble who could read, and towns later produced more literate merchants and craftsmen, but peasants on farms were overwhelmingly illiterate.
