Question

If you are a member of the English gentry, what do you inherit?

Answer 1

I believe the answer is: land and sometimes the title of Lord over different sections of land.

All members of English gentry would definitely related to government officials in some ways. In past England society, the English gentries were regarded as a minor nobles but still obtain certain amount of control over land in the feudalistic system.

Answer 2

If you are a member of the English gentry you will most likely inherit land, but you will also inherit usually large sums of money and the title that associates you with a particular status.
