Talk:Crown land

message: I seem to recall there being a distinction between "crown lands" (which are basically any public lands in the UK) and the Crown Estate.  Ought this be made clear? john k 16:31, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, this article is a bit of an oddity. In particular it seems to confuse the Crown Estate, which is land controlled by the Crown Estate Commissioneres, and land owned by the crown (whether in fee or in demesne) that they have chosen not to administer (which is not Crown Estate). Moreover, I am at a loss as to what the reference to an entailment at the start of the article is. Crown Estate is, as far as I know, a specifically England and Wales concept, and here the Crown can alienate (by selling a fee or granting a new fee) any part of its land.

replies: text: I was coming here to raise the same point about "Crown Land(s)"  Crown Land means land owned by the Government. Likewise if the Government seizes a property it to can be referred to as "Crown Land"  In Barbados there are signs on the Beach stating that it is "Crown Land".  It would be ludicrous to say the Monarch owns the Beach... There is actual land in Barbados owned by the Monarchy/Royal family though, but I forget the name of the plantation.CaribDigita (talk) 20:35, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Crown Land means "Government property".  Found a source: HERE  Note the bottom of page 1.

replies: text: It should be "Crown land". Crown is capitalized because it refers to a specific abstract entity and therefore is a proper noun. And it does not have its usual dictionary meaning of 'a golden hat', a further point in favour of regarding it as a proper noun. The word land is not capitalized, because the whole phrase Crown land is a common noun: you can modify it with words like some - 'some Crown land', 'any Crown land'.
