Rental payment ("tenure") was usually in the form of money, but each "burgage tenure" arrangement was unique and could include services.

As populations grew, "burgage plots" could be split into smaller additional units. (Amalgamation was not so common until the second half of the 19th century.)

Burgage tenures were usually money-based, in contrast with rural tenures, which were usually services-based. In Saxon times the rent was called a landgable or hawgable.
