Other large landowners

[edit]

The following are from the cited source, and some are relevant because of the extent or notability of the owner. We have to be careful not to attribute private ownership if the land is actually part of a charitable trust, and even privately owned companies might not belong exclusively to the person associated with them. Also the water companies land holdings might be largely inland water, which should be noted.
