As farm workers belonging to a manor, men and women had roughly equal roles, but men naturally did more of the hard, physical labour. Women were more involved with the home - cooking, washing linen, preparing dairy products such as cheese and butter, mending clothes, winnowing and similar tasks.
It was the men who did the ploughing, harrowing, sowing, weeding, hedging, ditching, slaughtering, threshing, pruning, gathering the hay and loading carts. Women helped with the harvest, fed animals, collected eggs, milked goats and had many other responsibilities. Children also worked - bringing water and firewood, scaring away birds from the crops, weeding, feeding animals and collecting eggs and helping their mother as much as possible.
From a legal and taxable point of view, women and children hardly counted at all; Domesday Book recorded only the working men in each manor, not the women or children.
