The '''Inclosure''' or '''Enclosure Acts''' were a series of [[United Kingdom]] [[Acts of Parliament]] which [[enclosure|enclosed]] [[open field system|open fields]] and [[common land]] in the country. They removed previously existing rights of local people to carry out activities in these areas, such as [[tillage|cultivation]], cutting [[hay]], [[grazing]] animals,using other resources such as small timber, fish, and turf or sometimes even living on the land. "Inclosure" is an old or formal spelling of the word now more usually spelled "enclosure": both spellings are pronounced {{IPAc-en|icon|ɨ|ŋ|ˈ|k|l|oʊ|ʒ|ər}}. |

Inclosure Acts for small areas had been passed sporadically since the 12th century but the majority were passed between 1750 and 1860. Much larger areas were also enclosed during this time and in 1801 the Inclosure (Consolidation) Act was passed to tidy up previous acts. In 1845 another General Inclosure Act allowed for the appointment of Inclosure Commissioners who could enclose land without submitting a request to [[Parliament of the United Kingdom|Parliament]]. |
|||
Under this process there were over 5,000 individual Inclosure Acts and 21% of land in [[England]] was enclosed, amounting to nearly {{Convert|28000|km2|disp=flip}}.{{Fact|date=March 2011}} |
