The Coming of Modern Agriculture In England
In late eighteenth and nineteenth century, the English countryside changed dramatically.
Before this time, the countryside was open in large parts of England; each villager was allocated strips of land for cultivation at the beginning of each year. The effort was to ensure that everyone has mix of good and bad lands.
All villagers had access to the common land where they pastured their cows, collected fuel wood and hunted.
Rich farmers were eager to improve their sheep breeds and ensure good feed for them by controlling large areas of land in compact blocks. They began dividing and enclosing common land and building hedges around their holdings for separating it from that of the others.
The early enclosures were started by individual landlords.
They drove out villagers who had small cottages on the commons, and prevented the poor from entering the enclosed fields.
In mid eighteenth centuries, the enclosure movement swept through the countryside.
Between 1750-1850, 6 million acres of lands were enclosed. The British Parliament passed 4,000 Acts legalizing these enclosures.
