Each strip or a number of strips was given to certain peasants to grow food for their family. Any excess, or a certain amount, would have to be given to the Lord of the Manor.

What was a landed estate run by lord?

A lord's estate was called a manor. It had a manor house for the lord and his family, a number of cottages for the serfs who lived and worked on the manor, farm buildings, farm land, woods, and fields. Usually, the serfs' cottages were grouped into one or more hamlets and quite possibly a village with a church.


Where did peasants live on a medieval manor?

There is no direct medieval equivalent of a "vegetable patch", which is a purely American English idea.In England, a peasant cottage was built in its own very small plot of land (the toft), with a larger plot (the croft) behind this and joined to it. What people chose to grow on these two "home" areas was entirely up to personal choice - they might keep a dairy cow, hens or geese, or some pigs, or goats (for the milk), or they might have fruit trees, herbs, vegetables or use the croft entirely for corn (in the English sense: wheat, oats, barley, rye).As well as the croft and toft, each peasant had a number of farming plots in strips of land, distributed around the neighbouring fields. These were used for growing corn, peas, field beans or other crops, while some might be left fallow, used to grow grass for hay, or used to graze sheep or other animals.As well as cultivating the croft and toft and their own strips of land, each manorial peasant was required to work of the demesne lands for a part of each week - those strips belonging to the lord of the manor.
