Just to add to the confusion two more meanings, greave a scottish term for farm manager and derived from the saxon, an officer responsible for collecting the lord's taxes. I would assume lord to mean lord of the manor since it is spelt with a lower case l.

I thought that it would be worth putting these two meanings on the thread. Both could fit in with farming very well.
