The Enclosure Maps of England and Wales 1595–1918: A Cartographic Analysis and Electronic Catalogue

by Roger J.P. Kain, Richard R. Oliver, John Chapman

Offering a comprehensive study of the enclosure mapping of England and Wales, the authors assess the processes of land enclosure and the role of maps (the mapping of each county and the cartographic characteristics of all the maps). Accompanied by an electronic catalog of all extant parliamentary and non-parliamentary enclosure maps of England and Wales, this book will be an essential research tool for economic, social and local historians as well as geographers, lawyers and planners.
