A more usual title would be Feudal barony (England). For one thing, article titles are normally singular. —Tamfang (talk) 00:48, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My intention was to create a twin article with List of Scottish feudal baronies. If the title must be changed I would therefore prefer "List of English feudal baronies". In truth I think the existing title is preferable, as it's more than a list, it discusses the concept of the barony too. It is not about a single entity, the barony, as your suggested title implies, but about several of them, being a list, hence my use of the plural. All debateable points, but that was my reasoning.
