CUSTOMARY FREEHOLD, in English law, a species of tenure which may be described as a variety of copyhold. It was termed privileged copyhold or copyhold of frank tenure. It was a tenure by copy of court roll, but not expressed to be at the will of the lord. It was, in fact, only a superior kind of copyhold, and the freehold was in the lord. This tenure was abolished by the Law of Property Acts of 1922 and 1925.
