There was church land on many manors, and this technically belonged to the lord, and I suppose it was part of the demesne. Also there were villages on the land of some manors, and I do not know for certain what the status of this land was, but have always assumed it twas part of the free peasant land. Of course there was a lot of variation in all of this.

In many medieval countries, farming was done mostly on manors, where peasant families lived and worked the land. The fields of the manors were divided up into strips, which were either communal or assigned to individual families to farm. They were sections of fields, usually long and relatively narrow.
In the Middle Ages, the land was divided by the kings among their vassals. At the lowest level, it was divided into manors, which were large farms where peasant families lived. The land of the manors was divided by the lord or by his steward into land reserved for the lord and land to be used by the peasants or serfs. The lord's land included fields where crops were grown for the lord's household, forest, and other park land. The serfs' land was further subdivided into fields held in common and fields reserved for the use of individual serf families. The job of doing this was usually done by a reeve, who was appointed from among the serfs, either by the lord or through election by the serfs themselves. The fields held in common included fallow land, which was usually used for grazing, and crop land where specific crops were raised for common use. The land for the individual serf families was divided into vegetable gardens, pens, and so on.

Nobles didn’t move to towns, but towns built up around the castles and manors.
AnswerLanded wasn't really divided on manors. There were areas for crops, herds, living, and hunting. It all belonged to the lord of the manor who in turn used it with permission of the king. AnswerThe land on a manor was divided into three classes, as follows: Demesne, which was the land a lord reserved for his own use. This could be for such purposes as hunting, or for gardens, or for other purposes, as he saw fit.Dependent holdings, which were farmed by the serfs, communally or singly, in exchange for a part of the crops or serviceFree peasant land, on which a peasant typically paid rentThere was church land on many manors, and this technically belonged to the lord, and I suppose it was part of the demesne.

well medieval manors are the lords of the manors land. so you would just call it land but it would be used for farming.
More land (estates, manors) more power, more titles and the king's favor.
