A copyhold is "a form of land tenure, so called because the holder had a copy of the record of his holding in the manorial role. [...] 10 Pound copyholders - those with land worth 10 Pound annually - were given the vote in 1832 and 5 Pound copyholders in 1867." Kenyon, Dictionary of British History, Ware: Wordsworth, 1981, 92.
