Information About

Copyhold




Copyholds were gradually enfranchised (turned into ordinary holdings of land—either Freehold or 999-year Leasehold ) during the 19th Century . Legislation in the 1920s finally extinguished the last of them.

For further information see ''Manorial Law'' (1996) by Andrew Barsby.
