The estate manager was an employee and supervised the bailiffs overseers and storekeepers, who in their turn, gave orders to peasants, farm hands and labourers.
The estate manager resided in a separately standing manager's house and was a man of acknowledged importance on the estate, responsible for the organization of farming, stock, selling and exchanging the products. He also had to make business trips to neighbouring estates and nearby towns where the estate produce was sold to various merchants.
