Manor House Wall Lights Traditional Sconces by Hinkley Outdoor Lighting

If you haven’t watched BBC Scotland’s “Monarch of the Glen” t.v. series, you must give it a peek. This drama has many humorous moments. Imagine if you lived your life as non-gentry and one day you had to oversee a manor house as a feudal lord.

What are manor homes? This type of architecture may have been former monasteries because Henry VIII gave his favorites abbeys and priories as private country homes. These homes were partially fortified with moats, drawbridges, gate houses and watchtowers to defend against thieves. You can consider these lesser castles that would not be able to withstand a siege.
