Armorial Register

The Armorial Register does not accept the "titles" obtained from Manorial Counsel Ltd or those of Nobility dot etc as genuine. These "titles" are, even in their own words, (https://www.manorialcounselltd.co.uk/lordship-title-law/) some sort of newly created "thing" . The company even states that "The new legal right will run concurrent to the original lordship title forever." - in other words, the product that they sell (whatever that may be) is NOT the original lordship but runs along side the original lordship. If they sold the original lordship, we would be happy to record buyer as lord of the manor but, as it is, their customers appear to be the owner of something else. I confess that I am not at all sure what that something else is but the fact that the vendor has called it the lordship of the manor of XXXXXX does not, in our opinion make it a real lordship of the manor.
The Gazette notices used by this company (Manorial Counsel) are careful to state that these products are nothing to do with manors created by the Crown.
"It should be noted that the title has been reconstructed by legal process, not through a re-grant or re-establishment by the Crown."
Although the Crown does not re-grant manors, real manors, those that have been owned and have a correct provenance, can of course be sold; although the ruling of Burton v Banford makes it practically impossible.
My advice - don't waste your money on anything which the small print says is a "bygone" title or a reconstructed title etc. These and others are terms used by companies such as Manorial Counsel and Nobility dot co.
