How did the’enclosure movement’proceed in England ?

(i) The early enclosures were usually created by individual landlords.
(ii) They were not supported by the State or the church.
(iii) After the mid-eighteenth century, the enclosure movement swept through
the countryside and changed the English landscape forever.
Ultimately, the British Parliament could no longer watch this process
from a distance and passed 4,000 Acts legalising these enclosures.
