I think the cottage is located "within his manor" Written by Heather Leigh (9/11/2009 11:37 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Ah yes. Makes sense. Thanks, penned by Reeba

that is, within the bounds of the land where he controls hunting rights.

Confusion is that we now use "Manor" to refer to a house, but it used to mean the whole property, more like "park". And the house was the "manor house" (and there might be other residences on the property like a "dower house," a "cottage," a "rectory," etc.)
