Question

What does the term enclosure imply state any two ways in which it is affected by poor farmers?

Answer 1

In England, enclosure is the process which puts an end to the traditional rights such as cutting grasslands for hay, or grazing livestock on common land formerly held in the open field system.

Once enclosed, these uses of the land become restricted to the owner, and it terminates to be land for commons.

The owners drove out villagers preventing them from entering the enclosed fields.

More and more people migrated in search of jobs and began to live and work in urban areas.
