Serfs could work there in exchange for protection

-----

Serfs worked on the manors in exchange for protection, a place to live, and fields to farm or some similar work. In exchange, they provided a day or two of labor per week, and part of the harvest.
In exchange for their labor, or whatever other form their rent might have been in, the serfs got three things: a place to live, fields to farm, and protection. The protection was of all kinds, and the lord's duty included not only military or police protection, but also food in time of famine (at least in theory).

Did a lord of a medieval manor live in a manor house?

The manor house was the house for the lord of the manor. Usually the lord lived in a manor house, but lords often had more than one manor, and some lords had many. The result was that sometimes the only people who lived in the manor house were the household servants. If the lord was not living in the manor house, it was usually kept ready for him to stay in if he showed up. There were many cases of manors being rented out, and in such a case, the person who rented it lived in the manor house. This normally happened only if the lord of the manor was short of money.


Who lived in treneere manor?

The building known as Treneere Manor is not medieval, although it may stand on the site of a former medieval manor house. Treneere is not listed in Domesday Book, so it was not even a village at that time. In fact Treneere Manor was not built until the 18th century. In 1913 Treneere Manor was home to a Mr Polglase, who sold some of his land to be developed as a Girl's Grammar School. Until the 1930s the owners of Treneere Manor were the biggest landholders in the area; it was effectively part of the wider lands of Alverton Manor (which does have medieval history).
