A peasant who was bound to a manor was a serf.
Peasants, often referred to as serfs, had several obligations to the lord of the manor, primarily involving labor and payments. They were required to work a certain number of days each week on the lord's lands, known as "weekwork," in addition to tending to their own fields. Peasants also owed rent for the land they farmed and were expected to pay various fees for services such as milling grain or using communal resources. Overall, their obligations were a critical part of the feudal system, reinforcing the lord's authority and the peasant's dependence.
The peasant had very little money. They owed taxes for just about everything including death. As a tenant farmer for the manor/estate they were given a small strip of land to grow food so some sold what they didn't eat. Life was very hard and they had very little.
The manorial system provided people who lived on the manor with homes, jobs, and security. The serfs worked the land, providing some of their labor or part of the crop to the lord, who also might have lived on the manor. In later times, they were likely to sell part of the crop and pay rent with money. The were considered bound to the soil, and this was a two way attachment. They were not allowed to move off the manor without permission of the landlord, but the landlord was similarly not permitted to make them move away. In time, serfs moved away to towns and cities, but they gave up the homes and security they had on the manor when they did so, and this meant it was not an entirely liberating experience.
The manor was the main part of a noble's land. The house where the lord and his family lived was in the center of a manor. The manor was usually a heavily protected building or castle. Surrounding the manor house was the lord's estate. Most of the lord estate was farmland.
The building known as Treneere Manor is not medieval, although it may stand on the site of a former medieval manor house. Treneere is not listed in Domesday Book, so it was not even a village at that time. In fact Treneere Manor was not built until the 18th century. In 1913 Treneere Manor was home to a Mr Polglase, who sold some of his land to be developed as a Girl's Grammar School. Until the 1930s the owners of Treneere Manor were the biggest landholders in the area; it was effectively part of the wider lands of Alverton Manor (which does have medieval history).
A peasant was considered part of the manor as a member of the agricultural workforce that supported the feudal system. They typically worked the land, paid rents, and provided labor in exchange for protection and the right to cultivate certain plots for their own subsistence. Their status was often tied to the land they worked, and they were subject to the authority of the lord of the manor. This relationship established a hierarchical structure that was integral to medieval society.
