Fisher, Joseph, the younger, of Youghal Landholding in England Produced by Charles Franks, Robert Rowe, David Widger, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Landholding in England" by Joseph Fisher, F.R.H.S. is a historical account written during the late 19th century. This work explores the complex systems of land tenure and ownership in England, from its aboriginal roots through various conquests and transformations, highlighting how these changes influenced contemporary practices. The beginning of this historical examination outlines the author's intention to make previously specialized knowledge more accessible to the public. Fisher discusses the foundational role of agriculture in society, citing its importance as a means of sustenance and economic wealth. He proceeds to note a distinction between systems of landholding rooted in initial occupation versus those formed through conquest, setting the stage for a detailed analysis of laws and customs governing land ownership throughout England's history.
