Detailed explanation-1: -The Enclosure Movement was a push in the 18th and 19th centuries to take land that had formerly been owned in common by all members of a village, or at least available to the public for grazing animals and growing food, and change it to privately owned land, usually with walls, fences or hedges around it.
Detailed explanation-2: -Effects of Enclosures (cont.) Farmers lost their farms of jobs and migrated to cities to find work. Enclosures caused poverty, homelessness, and rural depopulation, and resulted in revolts in 1549 and 1607.
Detailed explanation-3: -There is little doubt that enclosure greatly improved the agricultural productivity of farms from the late 18th century by bringing more land into effective agricultural use. It also brought considerable change to the local landscape.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Impact of the Enclosure Movement. While the Enclosure Movement did increase profits and productivity in agriculture, it left poorer farmers without the resources to grow their crops and feed their animals. It fundamentally changed England’s society and economic system.
