Title: Griffiths Valuation - What does "In Fee" in the Lessor column mean?
Post by: kob3203 on Sunday 17 September 17 12:02 BST (UK)
Entry 7 on the image shows the Earl Of Kingston as the occupier, and the immediate lessors as "In fee" (yellow highlight on attached image).

What does that mean ?

Thanks - I obviously didn't Google 'in fee' correctly !   ;)

"In fee - Lands held 'in fee' were freehold tenures, derived from a grant from the Crown."

Yes, even just in fee gets close. I must have mistyped something.  :)
