Enclosure Award Maps of Yardley 1847
| These maps do not show fields in private ownership, but commons, lanes,
houses, settlements, and roads. The fields to be enclosed are named, but
these names have not been listed opposite the maps on this page. The names
are listed in the Tithe Award Schedule: the names below are to assist in
identifying which map may be of interest. The Enclosure process in Yardley
was described by John Morris Jones in his booklet Swanshurst Quarter:
"At a meeting in 1832 at the Bulls Head the principal landowners of the
parish decided to seek enclosure of the remaining open fields (200 acres in
Church End and Greet Quarters) and commons (650 acres, mostly in (Swanshurst)
Quarter...). Piecemeal enclosure at the edges had reduced all these. A Bill
was passed in 1833, and the land was eventually shared among the promoters
and those few others who had documentary proof of their rights to common:
the land was sold to the promoters of the bill, who then paid the money back
to themselves, thus recouping the cost of the parliamentary process".
The map were scanned with

Birmingham Libraries. The images below may be used for private study, but they may not
be distributed, put on other websites, or used for any kind of commercial

Please click on the thumbnails to view the image at full size. The images are very large files, and may take some
time to display. If they appear initially as another thumbnail, place the
mouse over the image until a button appears at the bottom right-hand corner
of the image, and click that.
