Antiqua maneria
The Antiqua maneria (ancient manors), or assessionable manors, were the original 17
Earldom of Cornwall
.
After March 1337 these manors passed to the new
Black Prince (1330–1376). These manors were known as assessionable manors as the manors were to lease under assession leases periodically.[1]
The table below shows the 17 Antiqua maneria including the number and status of Customary tenants in the early fourteenth century: the manors vary greatly in size and importance. The parishes stated are the modern parishes rather than those in existence in the 14th century.[2]
