Is there a implied difference between a manor and a hall, in the case of a Georgian country house?

The “manor” is the house itself. Usually the “hall” will be the grand entry (foyer) or one of the larger rooms used for entertaining (such as a ballroom). That said, I have seen the two words interchanged when people are referrring to an estate such as “Smith Manor” or “Smith Hall.”

One is the house, or manor, and one is the hall inside it. (joke)

My source calls a manor a ‘big house (villa, hall or manor)’ on a lot of land with outbuildings. Is that Georgian?

Georgian confused the darn source!
