This book reveals the neglected world of the English manorial tenure of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It is rooted in landmark legislation: the Enfranchisement of Copyholds Act of 1841, and the Law of Property Act of 1922. The latter still largely governs modern property law. The story did not end until the property of the last documented former manorial tenant was enfranchised in 1957. While the English manorial system is fundamental to understanding much medieval and early-modern history, little attention has been paid to its ability to contribute to our understanding of the modern world. This book establishes for the first time a protracted manorial property revolution in England after 1841, which lasted over 100 years. This story is a massive lacuna in the history of property, and not just in the countryside; the urban manorial tenant was also heavily present in the landscape. Property rights registration since 2002, coinciding with the shale gas fracking furore, has reawakened interest in this neglected aspect of legal history, and ensures that this book will be of interest to lawyers and historians alike.

Excerpt from Copyhold and Other Land Tenures of England This book is written with a twofold object - First, to give a simple statement of the law relating to Copyholds and their Enfranchisement; secondly, to give a short outline of the nature and history of English Land Tenure, so that Copyhold Tenure may be more easily understood. The book also contains an Introduction dealing with property and its ownership, and the interests that may be held in property. The portion of the work which refers to Copyhold Tenure has been dealt with in greater detail than the rest. By the courtesy of the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries the forms relating to Copyhold Enfranchisement have been incorporated; the Copyhold Act, 1894, is set out, and the Author has made reference to the most recent cases upon the subject. Every Englishman should have a knowledge of Land Tenure, and this book has been written so that it may be easily understood by all. To those interested in the ownership or management of land it will be especially useful, whilst to candidates for the examinations of the Surveyors' Institution and the Auctioneers' Institute it will give all they need on the law of Copyholds and their Enfranchisement when supplemented by a proper course of preparation.
