Dr Grant's meadow

In MP, when Edmund teaches Mary Crawford to ride, one of their lessons takes place in Dr. Grant's meadow. Can anyone enlighten me as to what he would this meadow would be used for? Grazing cattle? as a lawn? I wondered if there were separate words for lawns and meadows to differeniate varying kinds of open green space.
