Enclosure acts, Kent
« on: Wednesday 13 September 17 20:35 BST (UK) »
    I know rather little about enclosures in Kent (particularly East Kent) and would like to find out some more. All I have been able to find so far on archive websites are a few minor exchanges between large landowners. Any thoughts gratefully received.

   Thanks Romily, I know about the Swing riots, because they began very close to here, but the article gives some references I can follow up.
