Petition End Manorial Rights Now

Manorial rights are an important issue across England & Wales. They are outdated laws that give lords of the manor rights to over 100,000 properties in England and Wales.

They allow wealthy landowners to make claims over farms, commercial, local authority-owned and residential property they no longer own. These rights include hunting, shooting and fishing rights and the right to extract minerals underground.

These laws date back to the time of William the Conqueror. They are relics of the past and have no place in a twenty-first century democracy – Scotland’s parliament abolished them in 2000. We want the national parliament in Westminster to do the same. Protected interests of the landed gentry have NO place in today’s socially and culturally diverse Britain. We must get rid of these outdated rights.

We need your vote now to get this issue debated in parliament.

Please sign our e-petition now to end manorial rights.
