Most medieval peasants lived and worked on manors, but some lived in towns. Those who lived in towns were mostly laborers of one sort or another, porters, laboring helpers for craftsmen, wagon drivers, cleaners, and so on. Those who lived on the manors went to town to sell their products, which were mostly agricultural, and buy various things they needed at market.
During the Middle Ages a town was a place where there was a permanent market, and had to have a royal charter for this purpose. Markets were strictly regulated so they would not be too close to one another. During the reign of William the Great, there were only eight market towns in England, aside from the cities. This, however, was not an indication of the number of communities of significant size, so much as it was a matter of the number of charters that had been granted.
