50 VILLS AND FREEHOLDERS OF DERBYSHIRE, 1633. 
J 
Freeholders, or free tenants (/ibere fenentes), were those who 
held portions of the demesne lands, as opposed to land held in 
villenage. ‘Those who are interested in the ancient tenures of 
English land, whether from an antiquarian or an economic point 
of view, should consult Mr. Seebohm’s masterly treatise on Zhe 
English Village Community (1883). 
Such a list as this may be useful to the students of economic 
history, but it is sure to be acceptable to the family historian and 
genealogist.
