Talk:Intake (land)

Legal basis

Did an intake require an act of Parliament? If not how were they authorised? I have a vague memory of some rule about one intake every n years in a given area. -- RHaworth 06:00, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Apparently not. Everett et al. (Slater Study Group) (2006) "Samuel Slater - Hero or Traitor?" Milford, Derbyshire: Maypole Promotions, defines an intake as "an illegal encroachment on common land. Providing that no-one objected to an intake, it would eventually become the property of its creator"

Later it is suggested that "in order to regularise undisputed intakes, the [Boundary?] Commissioners recorded them in the Award Document as 'Ancient Enclosed Land.' Chevin (talk) 10:59, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Probably Enclosure Commissioners. --Northernhenge (talk) 09:49, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

However given that the land had previously been common land what form of tenure did it acquire? What sort of rights would the Lord of the Manor have over it. Would it have become copyhold or freehold? Chevin (talk) 17:09, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
