Layout Of a Lords Manor

A European manor consisted of the cottages, huts, and barns and gardens of its serfs. Also there could be a church, a mill, and a wine or oil press in the village. Near those would be the manor house of The Lord. The village was surrounded by the arable land that was divided into three large fields that were farmed in rotation, with one allowed to be not used each year. There were also usually meadows for supplying hay, pastures for livestock, fish, and forests and wastelands for wood gathering.
