In English feudal law, the term ‘demesne’ refers to a plot of land attached to a manor that is retained by the owner, or lord of the manor for their own use (or sometimes occupied by leasehold tenants) rather than being granted to freehold tenants. Demesnes are not necessarily contiguous to the manor house.

The word is derived from the Latin dominus, meaning lord or master of a household, and is a variant of the word domaine.

A royal demesne was the land held and managed by the Crown rather than being granted to feudal tenants. An ancient demesne was land held by the king at the time of the Domesday Book in 1066.

As leaseholder protections were strengthened, demesnes referred simply to the lord’s house and the surrounding lands.

The word ‘demesne’ has also taken wider meaning, referring to any sort of realm or domain, whether physical or not.
