A manor is the basic unit of feudal land holding in the later middle ages. It was comprised of one or more villages and their farmland, and included a manor house complex that would have been the home of the lord of the major, or his steward if he was not in residence, as well as the center of the lord's agricultural activities on the manor. The manor complex, although often surrounded by a hedge, fence, mound, or wall, was of minimal military value in repelling an organized force.
A castle by comparison was a major military fortification, would have had very substantial walls, and would have a substantial garrison of knights and common soldiers. It also could serve as the home of a great feudal lord. Castles were held only by the very highest levels of medieval society, and were relatively few in number. Manors were much more common, with a manor complex being present in all but the smallest villages.
