A “champion” is a common, or land in allotments without enclosures. A “severall” is a private farm, or land enclosed for individual use. A champion also means one who holds a champion.
“The champion differs from severall much
For want of partition, closier, and such.”
Tusser: Five Hundred Points, etc. (Intro.).
