CHAPTER XVIII.

THE RESULTS OF ENCLOSURE.

The scenery of England and Wales has been transformed by the enclosure of its lands, but the extent and results of the transformation vary. Here you have the landscape cut into little fields with great hedges, looking from an elevated point of view like a patchwork quilt; there the skimpy quickest hedges only slightly emphasise the natural sweeping lines of the hills: here you have narrow winding lanes; there broad, straight roads with margins of grass on either side: here you have compact villages in which almost all the habitations in the parish are clustered together; there farmhouses and cottages so scattered that were it not for the church, which seems to attract to its neighbourhood the inn and the smithy, there would be no recognisable village at all.

This diversity in the effect of enclosure on the face of the country is a symbol of the diversity of its effect upon the material, social, and moral conditions of the local peasantry, who, like the land itself, may be said to have undergone Enclosure.

Where, as in Devon and Cornwall, in Cumberland and Westmoreland, the division of intermixed arable and meadow land took place early and gradually, and in subordination to the reclamation of waste, that reclamation itself being carried on steadily and gradually, the result was the creation of numberless small holdings and properties. A career was offered to the enterprising and laborious, and enterprise and industry grew accordingly,--“Devonshire myghty and Strong,” says Leland; and the great part taken by Devonshire in the national struggles in the reign of Elizabeth must be partly attributed to the reaction upon the character of the people of the conquest over the difficulties of bringing the rocky soil, woodland or moor, into cultivation: a conquest which made Devonshire husbandry famous for two generations, and “Devonshiring” a well-known term for a particular method of preparing waste land for cultivation.

Perhaps the greatest evil of Acts for the enclosure of waste in the past, was that they prevented such gradual reclamation and enclosure by peasant cultivators. At the present day the vital objection applies to enclosure of waste by any method that the area of such free open spaces is already sufficiently curtailed, that every remaining acre is becoming continually more precious, so that while public-spirited people fight for their preservation in remote places, in the neighbourhood of towns, citizens tax themselves to add to their area.

The enclosure of arable common fields, and of all the commonable lands of whole parishes within what I have called the Parliamentary Enclosure Belt, is of immeasurably greater historical importance. The ethics of such enclosure has been the subject of fierce debate for centuries; now the process is practically complete, and it is possible to apraise its results.

We have observed that with regard to the immediate results, capable of being contemporaneously verified, there is no real controversy between the disputants; it is on the inferences to be drawn as to the more ultimate results on the nation as a whole, and in the judgment pronounced upon the desirability of such results, that the dispute turned. The more candid disputants on either side admit the vital points in their opponents’ case: thus, for example, no opponent of enclosure denies that it tended to raise rents; and, on the other hand, it was the greatest advocate of enclosure who declared that “By nineteen out of twenty Enclosure Acts the poor are injured.”

The increase of rent was, of course, the motive of enclosure; and though there were exceptional cases in which the results were very disappointing to the promoters, as a rule the increase of rent was very great. Arthur Young gives the full financial details of twenty-three Acts for the enclosure of open field parishes in Lincolnshire.[108] The total rents before enclosure amounted to £15,504; on an average they were nearly doubled, the increase of rent obtained being £14,256, and the expenditure necessary to obtain this result was £48,217. Assuming that the money was borrowed at 6 per cent., there remained to the landowners a net profit of £11,363. These results were no doubt something above the average, but they were not exceptional. In Long Sutton the rent was raised from an average of 5_s._ per acre to between 30_s._ and 50_s._ per acre.[109]

The increase of rent was not a concern purely of the landowning class. As the advocates of enclosure continually pointed out, the rent was a pretty accurate test of the net produce of the agriculture of the parish; it was roughly proportional to the amount of food grown but not consumed on the spot, and sent away to markets to feed urban consumers at a distance. It was upon this net produce, they pointed out, that the taxable resources of the country depended. It was argued that an addition to the population of the country which was all engaged in gaining its own subsistence from the soil, added neither to the number of soldiers who could be enlisted for war without paralysing industry, nor to the power of the State to equip and support an army. On the other hand, a change by which a whole village of peasants who consumed nearly all the food they produced, was swept away and replaced by one or two highly rented farms, producing a less quantity of food, but sending much more to market, did supply the State with additional resources for the maintenance of its forces.

Private interests stimulated the appreciation of these public advantages. Money had to be borrowed to meet the heavy initial expenses of enclosure, and the banking system grew with the enclosure movement of the eighteenth century. And hence a secondary gain to the State. Increased opportunities for the remunerative investment of capital increased the supply of loanable capital, and made possible the enormous State loans by which the Napoleonic war was carried on. Lawyers, land surveyors, Parliamentary agents and others, reaped a copious harvest; and further, London in particular, and other towns in varying measure, grew in wealth by ministering to the increased “effective demands” of the enriched aristocracy.

But the opponents of enclosure were concerned with the gross rather than the net produce of land, and, as we have seen, it can be proved from the testimony of the advocates of enclosure and of impartial witnesses, that over a great part of the Midlands enclosure meant the conversion of arable to pasture, and local depopulation. The Board of Agriculture gives what may be considered an official estimate of the diminution of gross produce which would follow. An acre of common field arable might be expected to produce 2010 lbs. of bread in a three years course (that is, 670 lbs. of bread per annum), and 30 lbs. of meat per annum. The same area enclosed and converted to pasture would produce 176 lbs. of mutton, or 120 lbs. of beef. If we split the difference between the production of beef and mutton, we have on the average 148 lbs. of meat produced. There is on enclosure a gain of 113 lbs. of meat against a loss of 570 lbs. of bread; supposing the food values of equal quantities of bread and meat to be equal, there is a loss of 557 lbs. out of a total produce of 705 lbs.

And yet, through a chain of causation which can now be clearly perceived, but which at the time was not evident, though locally there might be a loss of gross produce, there was a gain throughout the kingdom. The key to the position was the operation of the Poor Laws.

Enclosure of arable fields and open field parishes in the Parliamentary Enclosure Belt in many ways greatly affected the operation of the Poor Laws.

By increasing rents it made a given poor-rate yield more. Further, the increase of rent reconciled the enclosing landowners to an increase in the poor-rate; more especially when it fell, not on them, but on their neighbours. For, as we have seen, the effect of enclosure in some parishes in a given neighbourhood was often to drive the poor into the parishes which remained unenclosed; these bore the burden, while the others reaped the profits.

As we have seen, enclosure, even when arable was not converted to pasturage, tended to ruin small owners and to eliminate small farmers, so that these had to join the ranks of agricultural labourers. The number of potential paupers was thus increased.

Destitution and recklessness among the labouring classes also increased. The common rights and small holdings of a few acres in the common fields were, at best, as we have seen, exchanged for a sum of money for which no investment offered itself, which therefore soon disappeared. With these small holdings disappeared also the hope of gradually taking more and more additional strips of land in the fields and the fear of losing the little already gained.

Early marriage was particularly encouraged by the change from the open field condition to enclosure. Before enclosure, the conditions of labour made the common field farmers who employed labourers, desire young unmarried men and women who would live in the farmhouse; such farm servants postponed marriage till they had accumulated some savings and could begin their married life with some resources--a cow, for example--over and above their labour. After enclosure, the enriched farming class preferred to pay board wages, and the young labourer with nothing to gain by waiting, with the assurance of Poor Law assistance if needed, naturally preferred to marry early.

Lastly, the disappearance of the yeoman class and of the connecting links between the largest farmers and the day labourers naturally tended to make the careful local administration of the Poor Law more difficult; it even to a great extent destroyed the motive for economical administration. The open field parish retained some of the social vitality of a self-governing community; men who had to concert together for the regulation of the fields, for the purchase of a parish bull, were more likely than the farmers of an enclosed parish to settle in concert questions of Poor Law relief in accordance with the interest of the parish as a whole.

This last point of connection between the enclosure and the Poor Law history of the country during the eighteenth century and the first part of the nineteenth is, however, interesting in itself, apart from the present argument. The point here laid stress upon is that whatever hardships for labourers and others resulted from the enclosure of arable fields, they did not starve, they did not eat less bread; they might be rendered miserable, but they married earlier and reared large families, somewhere or other. Poor Law relief ensured their offering an “effective demand” for bread. This effective demand compelled the increase of arable cultivation somewhere within the country; for foreign supplies were practically unavailable. The enclosure of waste for tillage and the enclosure of arable for pasture were economically inter-dependent.

The gross agricultural produce of the country as a whole was therefore increased by common field enclosure.

The effect upon urban industries was also great. The greater the local depopulation in rural districts produced by enclosure, the greater the supply of needy labourers of industrious habits and robust physique drafted to the growing industrial towns. Local depopulation was the usual result of Enclosure, as we have seen, in the Midlands and in Wiltshire, and parts of neighbouring counties. Where, as in Norfolk and parts of Lincoln and Yorkshire, local depopulation did not ensue, there was a vast increase in the agricultural produce sent to market, and in consequence, in the manufactured commodities demanded. Enclosure tended to assist urban industry therefore by an increased labour supply, an increased market, and perhaps also, an increased supply of capital.

Summing up, therefore, the economic results of the whole mass of little village revolutions under examination, we find increased population, increased production of all sorts of commodities, increased national resources for purposes of taxation and foreign war. The moral effects we find to have been increased misery and recklessness, showing itself in increased pauperism and drunkenness. An increase of the quantity of human life is attained at the expense of a degradation in its quality.

From 1727 to 1760 the number of Acts of this class passed per annum was steadily increasing, the Seven Years’ War (1756–1763) apparently acting as a stimulus. During this period the average acreage enclosed per Act was 1330·7 acres. The increase in the number of Acts continued up till 1792, and again at a greatly enhanced rate after the beginning of the great French war. From 1761–1792 the average acreage enclosed per Act was 1410·8 acres; from 1792–1801, 1504·9 acres. In 1801 a Clauses Act, termed “A General Enclosure Act” was passed to facilitate Parliamentary proceedings. This had the double effect of increasing the average number of Acts passed per annum from 20 to 43, but of reducing the average acreage per Act to 1313·4 acres. From 1816–1845 the average acreage per Act was 816·8 acres.

APPENDIX C.

LELAND’S ITINERARY.

NORTHAMPTON, LEICESTER AND RUTLANDSHIRES.

Leland entered Northamptonshire from Huntingdonshire, coming through Kimbolton and the village of Leighton. We have in Vol. I., folio 3:--

“From Leighton to Barnewel Village” (in Northamptonshire) “a vi miles by exceeding faire Corne and pasture ground.”

“Thence to Oundle ... the Medowes lying on every side on a great Leavel thereabouts.”

“Oundale to Foderingeye, a 2 miles by mervelous fair Corne ground and Pasture, but little wodde.”

“From Welingborow to Northampton 8 miles al be champaine Corne and Pasture Ground, but little wood or none, even as it is betwixt Oundale and Welingborow” (fol. 7).

“Wedon is a praty throughfare, sette on a playne ground” (fol. 11).

“Towcester is 7 miles from Wedon and as much from Northampton, al by playne Corne ground and pasture.”

“Northampton to Kingesthorpe a mile, and a little farther, by Multon Parke enclosed with Stone ... thens by Champayne Ground, bering good grasse and Corne, a ix mile to Ketering” (fol. 12).

“Thens to Welledon, an uplandish Towne, 4 miles, where the Soile is sumwhat furnished about with wood, and plentee beside of Corne and Grasse ... And thens 2 mile by Corne, Pasture and Wood to Deene.”

“From Dene to Rokingham, by summe Corne and Pasture but more Wood grounde a 3 miles” (fol. 13).

“There lyeth a greate valley under the Castle of Rokingham, very plentifull of Corne and Grasse ... The Forest ... about 20 mile yn length, and in bradthe 5 or 4 Miles in sum places in sum less. And withyn the precinctes of it is good Corne and Plentie of Woodde.”

“Rokingham to Pippewelle, the late Abbay, abut a 3 Miles of by Wood and Pasture.”

“Dene to Haringworth a 3 Miles be Corne, Grasse, and sum Woody Grounde” (fol. 14).

Then entering Leicestershire, he says:--

“The grounde bytwixt Dene and Staunton is plentiful of corne, and exceeding faire and large Medowis on both sides of the Weland. But from Rokingham to Staunton there was in sight little Wodde, as yn a Countrey al Chaumpain. From Staunton to Leycester al by Champaine Grounde an 8 or 9 Miles” (fol. 15).

“Leyrcester to Brodegate by grounde welle Wooddid 3 miles ... Brodegate to Groby a Mile and a half much by Woodden lande” (fol. 19).

“Brodegate to Leighborow about a v Miles. 1st foreste of Charley communely called the Wast, xx miles or more in Cumpace, having plenty of woode” (fol. 20). The forest of Leyrcester, the other forest of the county, he says, is five miles in length.

“Brodegate to Bellegrave Village a 4 miles by Woddy and Pasture Grounde” ... “Bellegrave to Ingresby a 4 Miles, partely by Corne, Pasture, and Woddy ground.... Thens to Wiscombe a 4 Miles by Corne, Pasture and Wood ... faire Orchardes and Gardenes” (fol. 22).

“_Marke that such parte of Leyrcestershire as is lying South and Est is Champaine, and hath little Wood. And such parte of Leircestershire as lyith by West and North hath much woodde_” (fol. 24).

Next he passes through Rutlandshire into Northamptonshire again:--

“From Wiscombe partely through Woddy ground of the Forest of Leefield, and so in Ruthelandshir by Woddy first, and then all champain Ground, but exceeding rich Corne and Pasture, to Uppingham ... from Uppingham to Haringworth (Northamptonshire) 3 little miles, al by Champaine ... Dene to Cliffe Parke 3 Miles; it is partely waullid with stone, and partely palid. From Dene to Coliweston a 5 or 6 Miles, partely by Champaine, partely by Woodde ground” (fol. 25).

“From Coly Weston to Grimesthorpe (in Lincolnshire) about an 8 or 9 most by playne Ground, good of Corne and Pasture, but little wood” (fol. 26).

His journey then took him northwards, but returning, he again passed through Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire, and notes:--

“Notingham to Bever (Belvoir) all by champaine ground, 12 miles” (fol. 113).

“Bever to Croxton, 2 miles” (fol. 115).

“Croxton to Castleford Bridge by champaine” (fol. 115).

“Castleford Bridge to Stamford 1 mile” (fol. 115).

“Stamford to Colyweston 2½ miles, champayn” (fol. 115).

“Colyweston to Dene, moste by Chaumpaine” (fol. 115).

“Dene to Foderingeye, most by wood, 6 miles” (fol. 116).

“Foderingey to Undale, 2 miles, champaine” (fol. 116).

“Thens a 9 mile to Layton in Huntingdonshire, Champaine” (fol. 116).

“To Higham Ferrers in Northamptonshire, 8 miles” (fol. 116).

“To Bedford, 14 miles, champaine” (fol. 116).

WARWICK.

“From Charlecote to Stratford a 3 Miles by Champaine, good corn and grasse” (166 b).

“I roade from Stratford by champaine Ground, fruitfull of Corne and Grasse a 5 miles ... thence 2 miles by Champaine to Coughton. From Coughton to Aulcester 2 miles by enclosed Ground (167 b). I roade from Aulcester towards Evvesham a 2 Miles by woody and inclosed Ground, and then a mile by Ground lesse inclosed, but havinge more Corne then wood. Thence a 4 miles by cleane Champion” (168 b).

Having thus entered Gloucestershire, he came through Worcester and Lichfield, and so re-entered Warwickshire from the north, and found--“Colishull to Meriden 4 m. by enclosed ground having some corne, wood and pasture. 3 miles by like ground to Coventry” (190 a). To Southam was “4 m. good corne and pasture in Champion,” thence to Banbury in Oxfordshire “10 m. by champaine, noe wood but exceedinge good Pasture and corne.”

BUCKINGHAM.

From Dunstable to “Mergate,” as we have seen, was “al by Chaumpaine a vj miles” (vol. 1, fol. 120). But “thens by Chiltern Hilles and woods and baren woody and ferne ground vij miles to Barkhanstede” (in Herts, near the Buckingham boundary, fol. 121). “Thens I passid by Hilly, Woody, and much baren ground to Cheynes (in Bucks) a v miles ... v miles good Pasture and Corne, v miles mory Ground, and 3 m. by sum enclosid and Woddy ground to Windelsore. From Windelsore by a 3 miles most be wood and enclosid, and 2 m. in faire open and levelle medow ... to Tamise ... Half a mile to Stanes Bridge” (fol. 122).

On a later journey he came from Oxford, and entered Bucks at Thame “by some Hilly and after great Pasture Groundes, fruitfull of beanes a 10 m. to Querendon in the Vale of Alesbury. Thens 5 m. to Alesbury all champaine” (Vol. IV. 191 b). But from Hagmondesham (Amersham) to Uxbridge was “9 miles by goodly enclosid grounds.”

OXFORDSHIRE.

He came from Reading and crossed the river to Caushem (Caversham). “Thens I rode a v miles and more all by great Woddes. And thens by Chaumpaine hilly ground a 4 m. to Ewelm” (Vol. II. fol. 5). “From Ewelm to Haseley a v m. by Chaumpaine Ground somewhat plentiful of corn, but most layid to Pasturage” (fol. 7). “From Haseley to Chisilhampton by plaine ground fruteful of corne and Grasse, but baren of wood as al that Angle of Oxfordshire is, 3 miles. Thens to Drayton Village. Thens a mile to Dorchester” (fol. 10). “To Walingford 1½ m. by mervelus fair Champain” (fol. 12). Here he again crossed the Thames into Berkshire; but later he entered the north west of the county, and found the district from Sutton to Banbury “all by champaine barren of wood” (Vol. IV., fol. 162 b), and the first 12 miles of the road from Banbury to Warwick “by Champaine Groundes, fruitful of Corne and Grasse” (163 a). Similarly from Southam (in Warwickshire) to Banbury was “10 m. by champaine, noe wood but exceedinge good Pasture and corne,” and from Banbury to Bercester (Bicester) was 10 or 11 miles of “champaine.”

LINCOLN.

“From Coly Weston to Grimesthorpe about an 8 Miles or 9, most by playn Ground, good of corne and pasture, but little wood” (Vol. I. fol. 26). “From Grimesthorpe to Corby about a 3 Miles by Champayne Ground.... Thens to Boutheby a 3 Miles, and thereaboute is meately store of Wodde scaterid” (fol. 27). “From Boutheby to Hayder al by Champaine ground, fertile of corne and grasse, 4 Miles. From Hayder to Sleford a vj Miles al by Champaine grounde (fol. 29). From Sleforde to Ancaster a 4 Miles by Chaumpaine (fol. 30). Ancaster to Temple Bruern al by Champaine of Ancaster Heth a 4 Miles.... From Temple Bruern to Lincoln 10 Miles by Champaine” (fol. 32). “Lincoln to Torkesey parte by Marsh Ground, and part by other, but very little wood, a 7 Miles. Torkesy to Marton Village about a mile by plaine sandy ground” (fol. 35).

YORKSHIRE, EAST RIDING.

“From York to Kexby Bridge by Champaine v miles” (Vol. I. fol. 49). Thence he went to Leckenfield, a village a little to the north of Beverley, “And al this way betwixt York and the Parke of Lekenfeld is meately fruteful of Corn and Grass, but it hath little wood” (fol. 49). He then went south to Hull and returned to Beverley: “From Kingeston to Beverle a vj Miles, a v by low pasture and Marsch Ground, and a Mile by enclosid and sumwhat woddy ground” (fol. 57). Starting from Beverley again towards Goole he has “Beverle to Walkington Village a 2 Mile, one by enclosid, and another by chaumpaine good corne land. Walkington to North Cave Village 5 Miles by fair champain corn ground. Northcave to Scalby a 3 Miles al by low Marsch and Medow Ground” (fol. 57).

“From Scalby to Hoveden (Howden) 4 M. scant one by enclosid Pasture and 3 by Morische and Fenny ground” (fol. 58). “From Hoveden to Wresehill (Wressel) a 3 Miles al by low Medow and Pastureground, whereof part is enclosed with Hegges” (fol. 59). “From Wresehill ... Ferry about a Mile, most by Medow Ground, and so a xj Miles to York, whereof most parte was in sight Medow and Morisch Ground, and but meane corne, but toward York the soyle and corne were better” (fol. 69).

NORTH AND WEST RIDINGS.

He came on his first journey from Scrooby in Notts to Doncaster. He observes, “Bawtre to Doncaster an vij Miles by a great Plaine and Sandy ground caullid Blitherle” (Vol. I. fol. 37), Round Doncaster is “Medow, Corn and sum wood,” but from “Tikhill to Cunesborow (Conisbrough) a 4 Miles by stony way and enclosid ground” (fol. 39), and from “Dancaster to Heathfield (Hatfield) by champayn sandy ground a 5 Miles,” and here comes Hatfield Chase, the scene of Vermuiden’s labours later. He return to Doncaster and went north and found “The ground between Dancaster and Pontefract in sum places meately wooddid and enclosid ground” (fol. 42); from “pontefract to S. Oswaldes by much enclosid and meately woddy ground a 3 Miles or more” (fol. 44). From St. Oswalds to Sandon village (a mile from Wakefield), “a 3 Miles by enclosid Ground” (fol. 44). From Wakefield to Pontefract direct was “a vj miles parte by Enclosure, parte by Champaine” (fol. 46). Thence to Leeds, he found first three miles of enclosed ground, then five miles of low meadow, and “good high plaine corne ground” (fol. 46).

From Leeds to Tadcaster was apparently unenclosed, but from Tadcaster to York there was first 4 miles of enclosed ground, then four by “playn Champaine” (fol. 48). “From York to Stockton yn the Moore a 3 Miles by low Pasture and moreisch Ground.... Thens a 5 Miles by much lyke Ground ... a little beyond that as about half a M. is Whitewelle Village. Thereabout the Fieldes for a Miles space were inclosid.... Thens a 2 M. by Fyrry. Thens to Malton a 3 Miles, and the ground is hilly there and daly and plentiful of Corne and Pasture (Vol. I. fol. 63). From Malton to Shirburne Village about an 8 miles by Champaine Ground. From Shirburne by Hilles to Semar. Thens a Mile by Meately plaine Ground, and so 2 Miles more in a vale enclosid with stepe Hilles on ech side to Scardeburg (fol. 66).

“Moste of the Ground from Scardeburg to Pykering was by Hille and Dale meate plentiful of Corn and Grasse but little wood in sight” (fol. 70). The vale of Pickering was open field land.

North-west of York itself was the great forest of Galtres, ten miles through (fol. 74). At Herperly Village beyond was “meately good corn ground, Pasture and Medow and sum Wooddes” (fol. 75).

Further south. “From Kirkeby Wisk to Northalverton a 4 Miles by Pasture and Corne Ground” (fol. 75).

Returning later from Durham we have from Greta Bridge to Richmond, “sum good corn and much More (fol. 95). Richmond to Middleham, al by mory Ground and little wood” but “Middleham to Gervalx Abbay a 2 Miles most by enclosed Pastures.” His route lay through Ripon, West Tanfield, Boroughbridge, to Knaresborough; he notes pasture, corn, wood and moor. Then comes the great forest of Knaresborough, 20 miles long and 8 broad. Then he went south through Pontefract and Doncaster, finding after Doncaster “3 Mile al by Champain ground” (fol. 105).

He came again into Yorkshire from Lancashire, and found by the Ouse near York “the ground was fair of Pasture, Corne and wood” (Vol. V. fol. 91), and from “Shirburne to Pontfract 6 m. soile in sight plaine, wel cornid, but little wood” (_ibid._), and coming south, there is “woddy Grounds,” and “soile riche of wood, Pasture, corne,” but no mention of enclosure.

WESTERN COUNTIES.

Leland’s observations are as follows. He saw, approaching Lechdale on crossing the Thames from Faringdon, “In ripa ulterori ... greate Enclosures of stone walls” (Vol. II. fol. 22). He turned into Wiltshire, and came from Bradford into the neighbourhood of Bath and East Somerset. Burton to South Cadbury, and thence to Sherborne, just over the Dorset boundary, was “fair and fruteful Champain” (fol. 47), but by another route back from Sherborne to South Cadbury “the Pastures and Fieldes be much enclosid with Hegge Rowes of Elmes” (fol. 50), and a little later he says that “most part of al Somertsetshire is yn hegge rows enclosid” with elms (fol. 55).

Some details are given later. Southtown to Midsummer Norton was “hilly and enclosid,” but Midsummer Norton to Wells “chaumpayne” (Vol. VIII. fol. 5), but thence south to Munney Delamere “hilly and enclosid” (fol. 7). Midsummer Norton to Mells (near Frome) was champayn (Vol. VIII.
