CONTEXT
Administrative/Biographical history:
According to the History of the County of Middlesex: "Small areas of the waste and village greens were inclosed from the early 16th century onwards. By 1700 there is evidence that the old pattern of open-field arable cultivation was being replaced by inclosure for pasture and hay farming. ... A further 700 acres were inclosed in 1835 under an Act of 1825, and the transition to large-scale hay farming continued slowly".
