compared with the typical villager, the lord and lady of the manor lived very well. They occupied the largest, best house on the manor and were attended by a whole team of servant. Most manor house had several rooms, including a large hall where the lord would look after the affair of manor and entertain guest. The walls were draped with elaborate tapestries to keep out of the cold, and every room had furniture: a small table, some wooden chest, a few good chairs, maybe even a book or two-all very expensive items. Servants laid fresh rushes on the stone floor several times a year. By modern standerd, these houses were not comfortable. There was no running water, toilets, or central heating, and were cold and drafty. Further, people had very little privacy. Servants slept near the bed of their lord and lady. Medieval people were used these conditions and didn't complain. They spent much of their time outdoor anyway
