For Manor House, an area of London, see Manor House, LondonFor Manor House, the PBS reality TV series, see The Edwardian Country House.A
manor house or
fortified manor-house is a
country house, which has historically formed the centre of a
manor (see
Manorialism). The term is primarily applied to relatively small country houses which belonged to
gentry families, rather than to grand
stately homes, particularly as a technical term for minor late medieval castles more intended for show than for defence.
In modern usage, the term
manor or
manor house is often used to mean simply a small or medium-sized country house, with no reference to age or to the historical sense of the term.
