The Custom of the Manor is set during the 16th century when English monasteries were being shuttered by Henry VIII and spiritual life in the kingdom was dramatically changing. Felix is a handsome young savage who is rescued from his barbaric surroundings by a mysterious patron from the local priory in Dunheved who promises him a civilized life in exchange for Felix's blind obedience. His fidelity results in the reckless murder of Nicholas Land, lord of the manor. After completing his part of the bargain, Felix becomes entangled in a plan for control of the manor occupied by Land's orphaned daughter, Margaret. The two youths become attracted to each other for different reasons. What will the law require Margaret to do to keep the manor? Will justice catch up to Felix? Will he confess his crime to Margaret or remain silent in order to cling to his relationship with her?
