	Manor house - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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 sometimes applied to relatively small country houses which belonged to gentry families, as well as 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, especially outside Europe, to mean simply either a country house or indeed any other house considered to resemble one, without any reference to age or to the historical sense of the term.
