What is the English gentry?
Gentry refers to nobility. In England, the gentry refer to people with titles. These would be knights, dukes, earls, barons, viscounts, and the like.
What do members of the English gentry inherit?
If you are referring to the nobility then they do not necessarily a thing. It depends on many factors. There may be nothing attached to the title and the title itself may not be hereditary.There may be disguised circularity in this question. The English term gentry is vague and refers to families in the 'class' or 'stratum' immediately below the aristocracy - in other words the higher echelons of the upper middle class. They inherit only what is left them in wills or according to law if someone dies without a will.There is also the term landed gentry. This refers to members of the main (often untitled) land-owning families in each county. Criteria for 'membership' are vague and informal. (You don't get a document from the monarch telling you that you are a member of the landed gentry). Moreover, even if you are widely regarded as a 'member' of the landed gentry this doesn't guarantee that you will inherit 'broad acres' or even any land at all. Leaving aside possible ill will within a family, parents may want to keep a farm or estate viable for the future and leave it to one child, and leave the others money, stocks and shares.
