Manor
Man´or
MANOR, estates. This word is derived from the French manoir, and signifies,
a house, residence, or habitation. At present its meaning is more enlarged,
and includes not only a dwelling-house, but also lands. Vide Co. Litt. 58,
108; 2 Roll. Ab. 121 Merl. Repert. mot Manoir. See Serg. Land Laws of
Pennsyl. 195.
2. By the English law, a manor is a tract of land originally granted
by the king to a person of rank, part of which was given by the grantee to
his followers, and the rest lie retained under the name of his demesnes;
that which remained uncultivated was called the lord's waste, and served for
public roads and common of pasture for the lord and his tenants.
