Greetings,
I ran across the GC of the FLB the other day on Facebook and soon decided to join the organization. I run a software development group for a consumer electronics firm in southern California.
I am the Lord of the Manor of Skighaugh in Essex, and generally use this as my title.
I am also the Lord of the Manor of Whitehall Botney, also in Essex. However this title was mostly purchased as a somewhat unorthodox investment and will most likely be sold sometime in the future.
Best regards,
Christopher Chambers

Welcome! Always great to have people on board. It helps is make a real difference. It is an interesting time for Lords of the Manor, and some challenging trends that impact us all. Our standing together influenced legislation in the 1920s to protect our interests, and we need this even more now. Thank you all!

I have been searching the web for the manorial book that was suggested reading, However I have lost the title of the book.
I did come across - The Law of Copyholds 1800-1926
In Reference to the Enfranchisement and Commutation of Manorial Rights, and the Copyhold Acts: With Notes and the Forms and Directions of the Copyhold Commissioners.
Have anyone had the oppurtunity to read this book ?

Not that one, but I have a number of others on the subject. The book you reference will have been done in response to the 1925 Law of Property Act at a guess. There were a couple of late 19th century acts that also had quite a big effect on copyholds. Interesting history but only relevant to people whose manorial titles come with the land of the manor as well.
