	Burgage - LoveToKnow 1911
		The term is of less practical importance in t i tle English than in the Scottish system, where it held an important place in the practice of conveyancing, real property having been generally divided into feudal-holding and burgage-holding.
		It is usual to speak of the English burgagetenure as a relic of Saxon freedom resisting the shock of the Norman conquest and its feudalism, but it is perhaps more correct to consider it a local feature of that general exemption from feudality enjoyed by the municipia as a relic of their ancient Roman constitution.
		Tenure by burgage was subject to a variety of customs, the principal of which was Borough-English.

	Burgage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Burgage is a medieval land term used in England and Scotland, well established by the 13th century.
		A burgage was a town ("borough") rental property (to use modern terms), owned by a king or lord.
		The property ("burgage tenament") usually, and distinctly, consisted of a house on a long and narrow plot of land, with the narrow end facing the street.

	Medieval English urban history - Glossary
		Another characteristic of burgage tenure ("tenure" being a term connoting occupation more than outright ownership, since most real estate was held of some lord and ultimately the king) was that a burgage property could be sold, inherited or otherwise disposed of more freely than was normally the case with rural property.
		What was important about the latter to boroughs, at the time when they were securing their first grants of self-government, was that the holders of burgage tenements owed suit to the borough court and were (at first) an important source of revenue that was put towards payment of the fee farm.
		A resident was not, in most towns, automatically a freeman but acquired this privileged status by entering the freedom, or taking up the franchise, which might happen automatically in some cases (notably sons of freemen), or in others be acquired through a one-time membership fee (or fine).

	BURGAGE PLOTS
		These are ‘burgage plots’ and it is not so much the buildings as the shape of the strips and their arrangement in relation to the market place that is interesting.
		These strips (today called burgage plots) were originally used as gardens or extra space for outbuildings, workshops, stables and occasionally additional cottages.
		These burgage plots were a key part of the medieval town plan and are still a characteristic feature of the town today.

		It would seem likely that burgages were also laid out at the north-eastern and of Cruxwell Street as this was the road to Hereford from the palace and the church, and therefore a prime site for development.
		Besides the burgages in named streets - for which the annual rent was one shilling for a whole and sixpence for a half burgage - there were also market stalls or seldae.
		In 1836 the law was changed to prevent this and, as a consequence, the population figures dropped and the census returns indicate that some 39 houses remained unoccupied in 1841.
