The Tenures Abolition Act of 1660 was passed shortly after the English Restoration, the Act replaced various types of services (usually military and religious) that stemmed from Feudal duties that tenants were obliged to serve to the Crown through socage. The monarch was compensated though a tax on alcohol with a fixed payment annually.

The Act represented a weakening of the feudal system of governance across the UK. However The crown estates summarise this perhaps most appropriately "Under our legal system, the Monarch (currently King Charles III), as head of state, owns the superior interest in all land in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. In most cases, this is usually irrelevant but it can become relevant if a freehold property becomes ownerless."
