Manor Life
The center of the manor was the house where the lord and his family lived. 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. Peasants called serfs lived and worked on the manor. The homes of the lords of the estates, and tended to be large and much more comfortable than the houses of other people. 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.

Which was true about medieval manors?
Life on the feudal manor was very different from today. The women would stay home with the children, do the house chores and feed the animals. She would also gather food from the garden. Their house, I'M NOT KIDDING, were made of dried cow dung and some hay. So it was very easy for robbers to dig. It was usually a one bedroom house. The kitchen the beds and everything else was in that room. It was very tiny. And stinky because the pigs and all the other animals would live inside that tiny space. Talk about gross. Also the men would work the fields and if you were old enough, we're not talking about 15 we're talking younger, then you'd go and help your father. If you were lucky enough to be born in a noble or monarch family you'd have much more luxuries and live in a great castle. The difference between serfs, the ones who worked the manor, and peasants was that serfs had to work all day and in exchange they'd receive protection. But they were not allowed to marry unless given permission by the lord of the manor. Unlike serfs peasants were free and weren't guaranteed protection or anything. So some of them would rent a little house on a manor. For a period of time. HARSH!
