Author Description

The Manorial Society of England and Wales TM was created by its founders due to their interests in genealogy and the manorial system/seignorialism. It has developed as one of its aims a desire to produce a searchable database of those holding manorial titles in England and Wales, something that has become of greater significance since HM Land Registry stopped recording such interests. HM Land Registry maintains an index of registered manors, however this index of lordship titles stopped receiving new registrations since October 13th 2013. Titles already listed are updated but there was no legal requirement to register such titles and so many never were. This is inline with the Land Registration Act 2002, which stopped the ability of an individual to register a Manorial Title as outlined in the Land Registration Act 1925.
