Background to enclosure

Explain Enclosure maps,  Several maps showing every plot in the parish, each numbered, with a key that shows
1. Name of the proprietor
2. Tenure (freehold, leasehold, etc)
3. brief description
4. Plot size in acres/rods/poles

There are individual maps for Clifton, Deddington and Hempton village centres and (I guess) other maps for outlying fields etc.

Unfortunately the cartographers used the same key numbers for Hempton and Deddington so we have had to make educated guesses about which property is on which map.  Clifton has unique key numbers, fortunately.

Some of the plots (outlying fields)  do not appear on any of the 3 maps

Click on the village name to see the relevant map.   Clifton   Deddington   Hempton
