War of the Roses - 1455

Nutley Manor served as the residence of the local lord, responsible for managing the village and surrounding lands. It was a place of governance and decision-making, where disputes were settled, and policies were enforced. The lord’s allegiance during the War of the Roses would impact the political alignment of Nutley, as he could be pressured to support either the Yorkist or Lancastrian cause.
