- 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 service
- Free peasant land, on which a peasant typically paid rent
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.

How did the middle ages divide up the land?
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.
