Synopsis

A History of Gavelkind: And Other Remarkable Customs in the County of Kent is a book written by Charles Sandys and published in 1851. The book provides a detailed account of the legal system in Kent, England, specifically focusing on the ancient custom of gavelkind. Gavelkind is a unique form of land tenure that was practiced in Kent and some other parts of England. The book explores the origins of gavelkind, its legal implications, and how it was practiced in Kent. In addition to gavelkind, the book also discusses other interesting customs and traditions that were unique to Kent. These include the custom of Borough-English, which allowed the youngest son to inherit the family estate, and the right of a widow to retain possession of her husband's property for a year after his death. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Kent or the legal system in medieval England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
