WHAT DOES BURGAGE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

burgage

Burgage

Burgage is a medieval land term used in England and Scotland, well established by the 13th century. A burgage was a town rental property, owned by a king or lord. The property usually, and distinctly, consisted of a house on a long and narrow plot of land, with a narrow street frontage. Rental payment was usually in the form of money, but each "burgage tenure" arrangement was unique, and could include services. As populations grew, "burgage plots" could be split into smaller additional units. Burgage tenures were usually money based, in contrast to rural tenures which were usually services based. In Saxon times the rent was called a landgable or hawgable.
