Answer 1

Manors were agricultural estates, given to lords, usually by a king, in exchange for military and political support. Labor was provided by peasants who lived on the manors, in exchange for a place to live, fields to farm, and protection. A manor had a manor house, where the lord might live, though many lords had more than one manor. A manor usually included a small community, at least a hamlet, but more often a village, where the peasants and other laborers lived. If there was a village, the village had a church. There was usually a bakery, or at least someone, such as a miller, who baked bread. In addition, there could be other craftsmen on a manor, such as spinsters, weavers, potters, carpenters, and so on.

A permanent market place was the distinguishing feature of a town. A manor never or nearly never had a permanent market.

Answer 2

Peasants lived in a village outside the manor
