The 1,845-acre Laxton estate, which includes 17 farms, 10 cottages and a pub, in Nottinghamshire is on sale for £7million
That’s prima nocta, the taking of a newlywed man’s wife, on their wedding night, for sexual pleasures that were exercised by nobles.
That’s actually not a lot of money for all that (in relative terms). It would cost more for a townhouse in Manhattan - without the 1846 acres and the rest.
Have you seen English females lately?
Also, “The average age of a Laxton resident is 65,” according to the article.
Wow, I wish I could afford something like this. Probably beautiful, and so much history!
How much for the serfs? What about the women and children? Thanks for the line John, RIP.
“In 1981 the Crown Estate purchased Laxton to try and maintain the open field strip farming system and the village is now the only place left in the country to farm in this way, reports the Guardian.”
You’re not actually going to OWN it. You’ll just be paying a princely sum for being a subject of the crown.
