There are a number of different positions that fit this question. A steward would be appointed by the lord of a manor to represent his interests and manage his affairs and his household when he was not in residence. A bailiff could also be appointed by the lord. The bailiff was responsible for overseeing agricultural work on the lords behalf, possibly was responsible for collecting rents, etc. Bailiff can be a somewhat confusing term, it can be used in a more general way to mean an appointed official of various sorts. Sheriffs and mayors were also considered "bailiffs".

There were also reeves, who were officials chosen by the residence of the village instead of the lord, who were responsible for overseeing the collective agricultural work of the village, be it the labor obligations owed to the lord or work such as plowing that by agreement was done cooperatively.

What type of house work did ancient Roman females need to do?

Roman females were basically stuck with the same type of housework that present day females are stuck with. However, in ancient Rome, since everything had to be done by hand, the Roman housewife usually had slaves to help out. Even if wealthy, the matron of the house was responsible for the overseeing of the slaves and making sure that things ran smoothly.Roman females were basically stuck with the same type of housework that present day females are stuck with.

What is the role of nobles on the manor?

In general, the members of the nobility had to be free to do other things than the day to day operation of running the manor. They had special servants to do this. A steward was responsible for keeping their property and wealth. There was a reeve, usually a peasant, and sometimes elected by the peasants, who was the go between for nobles and peasants. Various special operations, such as keeping the woods or the hunting animals, were done by specialized servants, who sometimes where told what to do by the nobles, but were often managed by the steward.

Where would the cooking have been done in a manor house?

Where the cooking was done depended on when the manor house was built, and who built it. The modern chimney was not invented until the 12th century, and manor houses were still being built without chimneys for some time after that. The result was that much of the cooking was done outdoors. Manor houses without indoor kitchens usually had separate kitchen buildings with large windows for ventilation so cooking could be done under a roof in bad weather. Some manor houses had kitchens with vents in the wall or roof, often with the smoke guided to the vent by a smoke canopy. Manor houses with kitchens in the building often had multiple kitchens for cooking different things. Baking was done in an oven, and the ovens were not small, so a separate kitchen was done for baking. Kitchens tended to be located in low areas of the buildings, usually at ground level. But until there were chimneys, the kitchens tended to be in parts of the buildings where the roofs did not rise far above them.
