CONT

From 1645 until 1926 the two surviving tenures held the field: socage (often called freehold) and copyhold.... This dual system of tenure was an impediment to conveyancing. Copyhold had the great merit that the books of the manor were a register of title, while freehold titles had to be proved in the traditional way by investigating past transactions recorded in the title deeds. (Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, pp. 33-4)
