I'm in this absolutely gorgeous manor house with acres of quite beautiful countryside. I've got trout in the river, an organic vegetable garden, I've got my work 40 yards from my home. I don't mind being criticised, but where are they criticising from? Which hut are they criticising me from, exactly?

WHAT DOES MANOR HOUSE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

manor house

Manor house

A manor house is a country house which was historically the capital residence or messuage within a manor, the basic unit of territorial organisation in the feudal system in Europe, in which dwelled the lord of the manor. It formed the administrative centre of a manor and within its great hall were held the lord's manorial courts, communal meals with manorial tenants and great banquets. The term is today loosely applied to smaller country houses, frequently dating from the late-mediaeval era, which formerly housed the gentry. They were often fortified but this was frequently intended more for show than for defense. Manor houses existed in most European countries where feudalism existed, where they were sometimes referred to as castles, palaces, and so on.
