Copeland - The Enclosure Awards

 

 

Copeland Enclosure Awards

 

 The enclosure awards are useful for the Family Historian as they will tell the reader what land their family held, and what extra land that they were given, when the Common land in the parish was divided amongst the existing land holders. The allocation of portions of the Commons was carrie out by “three wise men” appointed from adjacent parishes. It was their job to ensure that the allocation was both fair and made the best possible operational sense for the farmers involved.
