What type of house did a medieval blacksmith live in?

Blacksmiths had to learn their skills through apprenticeship. This put them a bit above the ordinary peasant, but not much. They lived in villages and towns, but most of the villages were on manors, and so the houses in them were mostly peasant cottages. Presumably, the blacksmiths could afford to live in better houses than many of the peasants, but there were other people on manors who also had skills that put them slightly above the ordinary workers, and these included any weavers, potters, and carpenters, who happened to be there, along with the reeves and other officers of the serfs. So the blacksmith's house would not have been much better than that of serfs. There is a link below to an article on serfs' houses.


Where did serfs live in the Middle Ages?

Most serfs lived on manors. These were farming estates that belonged to lords, and whose residents were mostly serfs. The serfs typically lived in a village or hamlet on the manor, in cottages. Some serfs were not agricultural and worked as laborers. They typically lived in cottages in villages or boarding houses in towns.


What did the serfs get for working the fields?

Serfs who were agricultural workers got a place to live, most of the farm production, and protection in exchange for some of the farm production or labor. Some jobs serfs did were not agricultural. For example, some serfs specialized in transportation, as teamsters or boatmen or rivers. These were likely to be given a place to live and money in exchange for labor.
