Landed gentry

Mr and Mrs Andrews (1748-49) is a painting by British artist Thomas Gainsborough depicting members of the landed gentry. National Gallery, London.
Typical entry in Burke's Landed Gentry (from Volume 2 of the 1898 edition).

Landed gentry is a largely historical British social class consisting of land owners who could live entirely from rental income. It was distinct from, and socially "below", the aristocracy or peerage, although in fact some of the landed gentry were as wealthy as some peers. They often worked as administrators of their own lands, while others became public, political and armed forces figures. The decline of this privileged class largely stemmed from the 1870s agricultural depression.
