"Corn" is a word dating back to Saxon times, meaning any cereal crop (wheat, barley, oats, rye, millet and so on). It continued into Middle English with the same meaning.

Manorial villeins grew corn, sometimes mixed together in the same strips of land. This was called "maslin" corn (from the Latin for mixed) and was useful if one particular variety was attacked by disease, since the other types would often grow normally. The flour produced was also called maslin, as was the bread made from it.

Millers would grind the corn at their mills, which were mainly water-driven until the early 13th century when windmills became widespread.

Bakers used the flour from the corn to make bread.

Some corn was kept back as seed for the next crop; other corn might be used to feed hens or geese which were kept for their eggs.
