customary estates

customary estates
Lands of certain copyholders of free and privileged tenure, which were derived from the ancient tenants in villein-socage who did not hold at the will of the lord, but only according to the custom of the manor. The law did not regard the freehold of such lands as resting in the lord of whom the tenants held, but in the tenants themselves, who were sometimes called customary freeholders, being allowed to have a freehold interest, though not a freehold tenure. Sec 2 Bl Comm 149.
