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.
