A medieval manor was a large estate of land that included farm fields, pastures, and often an entire village. Manors had to be self-sufficient, meaning they had to feed themselves and the people who live there and worked there. The manor was usually run by a noble. His job was to supply troops for the king, do the kings chores, and pay taxes to support him, his house, and the people who worked for him. The people who worked for the manor or noble were the peasants and serfs the lowest people in society. They worked for the manor, his fields, and anything else that he needed done they would do it. In the manor house there was a Great Hall, a solar, a kitchen, a servant quarters, and multiple storerooms for clothing and food, and other supplies. The manor house was built for the noble or landlord and his family, {wife and children}. The manor usually owned at least 30-120 acres of land. The noble would get fiefs from the king to sell to the peasants and knights for protection and loyalty. As for the castles the knights protected the manor and its village. The meals of that the people ate geese, larks, a variety of meats, and fish. Pottage and bread were also available to be eaten.
This is one of the last surviving manors of the Middle Ages.
