Answer: Ream

A ream used to be 480 sheets of paper, or 20 quires of 24 sheets. These numbers may seem odd but they are based on dozens (12s) and scores (20s). Nowadays we are more used to multiples of 5 and 10 so the number of sheets in a ream was changed. A typical pack of printer paper contains 500 sheets or a ream of paper.

Some of these houses were rather large and grand so the word "manor" nowadays can refer to any big house even if a lord does not live there.
