A manor was a piece of land having farm fields, and woods, a hamlet or village, farm buildings, and a house for a lord to live in with his family. Sometimes there was a second, smaller, nice house.

Some of the manor houses were fortified, and these could look very much like castles. Activities on the manor were from farming to woodworking to wine making. Town Life In the center of the town were the market square and a cathedral.Most medieval towns were dirty, cramped, and busy places. The streets were narrow, dirty, and usually not paved. Goldsmiths, bakers, weavers, and dryers had a town life. Most of the houses were made out of wood and easily caught on fire. In towns people with the same occupation formed groups called guilds. Guilds watched out for their members and worked to make sure everyone found employment.

Manor houses were of two types, those that were fortified and those that were not. Those that were fortified were generally built of stone and looked quite a lot like castles. Those that were not fortified were generally built of timbered construction, but were better built than most houses and the areas between timbers were more likely to be filled with brick than with wattle and daub.

Where the cooking was done depended on when the manor house was built, and who built it. The modern chimney was not invented until the 12th century, and manor houses were still being built without chimneys for some time after that. The result was that much of the cooking was done outdoors. Manor houses without indoor kitchens usually had separate kitchen buildings with large windows for ventilation so cooking could be done under a roof in bad weather. Some manor houses had kitchens with vents in the wall or roof, often with the smoke guided to the vent by a smoke canopy. Manor houses with kitchens in the building often had multiple kitchens for cooking different things. Baking was done in an oven, and the ovens were not small, so a separate kitchen was done for baking. Kitchens tended to be located in low areas of the buildings, usually at ground level. But until there were chimneys, the kitchens tended to be in parts of the buildings where the roofs did not rise far above them. The related question below had links to pictures of medieval kitchens.
A medieval baron had an estate called a barony, but it usually consisted of manors that were scattered through the country, and were not together. The baron could choose to live at any of the manors, and often barons would move from one to another fairly often so they could keep track of their estates personally. Most medieval nobles lived in manor houses, and most manor houses were just large, well built houses we might call mansions. Some nobles lived in fortified manor houses, which were built rather like castles, to the modern eye. Barons, who were at a higher rank than most other nobles, were likely to own castles of their own. Those who did own castles were likely not to wish to live in them, because castles were not always built to provide comfortable living space.
