    Offering a comprehensive study of the enclosure mapping of England and Wales, the authors assess the processes of land enclosure and the role of maps (the mapping of each county and the cartographic characteristics of all the maps). Accompanied by an electronic catalog of all extant parliamentary and non-parliamentary enclosure maps of England and Wales, this book will be an essential research tool for economic, social and local historians as well as geographers, lawyers and planners.

    • Was the first book-length study of the history of enclosure mapping in England and Wales
    • Accompanied by a fully searchable, descriptive and analytical web catalogue of all parliamentary and non-parliamentary enclosure maps extant in public archives and libraries
    • Roger Kain and Richard Oliver's previous book The Tithe Maps of England and Wales won the Library Association McColvin Medal as 'the most outstanding work of reference published in the year 1995'
