Not all peasants lived on manors, not all peasants were farming labourers and not all peasants even worked on land.
Some peasant farm workers were employed by the monasteries as servants, shepherds, millers, ploughmen and so on, working mainly on monastic granges. They were employed by and paid by the head of the monastery (he might be a Prior or an Abbot).
Many peasants lived in towns and some of these were wealthy men; craftsmen, merchants, tradesmen, minters, smiths, butchers and many more townspeople belonged to the peasant class, but many were extremely wealthy people.
Some peasants worked as sailors on various types of ship; among them there were fishermen, ferrymen, merchantmen and military ships all crewed by peasants.
