I have the transcript of a will of an ancestor dated 1558. It says "and my indenture held of the lordship of Farncombe". Does anyone know what that means? Was he "Lord of the Manor" or did he rent property from the "lordship of Farncombe". Thanks.

An indenture was a document used in contracts, title deeds, and relating to apprentices or agreements with servants. I would think in this case it could most probably be relating to title deeds.
