The typical manor would contain: a manor house; where the lord and his family would live, the peasant houses; where the peasant’s would live and the fields on the outer sides of the manor; where the peasants and the lord’s serfs would work their land. The manor house would normally be fenced off from the peasant houses. Many manor houses had a fishpond near them, sometimes if not natural, it could be man – built. There would be many building on manor but the manor house would be the largest. The peasant houses would be grouped together to form a village. The fields and the forest would be around the outside of the peasant village. The medieval manor could be varied in size but normally it would often be around 1200 – 1800 acres.
