Champion and Severall

.

A “champion” is a common, or land in allotments without enclosures. A “severall” is a private farm, or land enclosed for individual use. A champion also means one who holds a champion.

“The champion differs from severall much

For want of partition, closier, and such.”


Tusser: Five Hundred Points, etc. (Intro.).
