In British society, the lordship of a manor is a lordship originating in the feudal system of manorialism. In modern England and Wales it is recognised as a form of property, one of three elements of a manor that may exist separately or be combined and may be held in moieties:

1. the title (with origins in the Roman concept of dignitas);
2. the manorial, consisting of the manor and its land; and
3. the seignory, rights granted to the holder of the manor.
