Question

who owned the common lands initally?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Before the enclosures in England, "common" land was under the control of the manorial lord. The usual manor consisted of two elements, the peasant tenantry and the lord's holding, known as the demesne farm. The land the lord held was for his benefit and was farmed by his own direct employees or by hired labour.

Answer 2

Answer:

Those entitled to exercise such rights were called commoners. It is a popular misconception that common land is land owned by the general public and to which everyone has unrestricted right of access. All common land is private property, whether the owner is an individual or a corporation.
