Body of freeholders (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yeomanry

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">body of freeholders</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for yeomanry that I've seen before include "Hist. home defence volunteers" , "chaps on estates, as before" , "cavalrymen once" , "A body of smaller freeholders (hist.)" , "Old social class" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
