Lord of the manor is a title given to a person holding the lordship of a manor in the Anglo-Saxon system of manorialism which emanated from feudalism in English and Irish history. In modern England and Wales, it is recognised as a form of property, one of three elements of a manor that may exist separately or be combined, and may be held in moieties:
- the title (deriving from the Roman concept of dignitas);
- the manorial, comprising the manor and/or its land; and
- the seignory, rights granted to the titular holder of the manor.
