Before the 1760s enclosure was carried out in a piecemeal fashion by local
landowners with or without the cooperation of tenants; from the 1760s the
process was regulated by Act of Parliament and General Enclosure Acts in 1801,
1836 and 1845; in the early phase local promoters of enclosure placed a Bill
before Parliament to obtain an Act, which allowed them to nominate enclosure
commissioners to re-allocate individual landowner's holdings into coherent units
so that each landowner still had the same value of land as before; to carry out
their instructions it was necessary for the commissioners to appoint a surveyor
whose first job was to draw a 'true and exact plan and measurement' of the land
in question.
