From what I remember in history class, many manors would open during the day to peasants, and offer food and shelter.

apart from the meager food they got and elementary housing, the advantage was always to owners of the Manor Houses, the Country Gentlemen, The Titled folk and the Lords and Ladies, almost slave labour. If you have ever seen the original garden spade used in Britain and Europe it was large, although this killed more workers off at an early age, it meant they could do more work every day, and that was good for the landowners
