EnglishAbstract
Women like Jane Ashley, Amabel Hume-Campbell,
Anna Maria Agar, Sarah Dawes and Mary Cotterel were all involved in pushing
through parliamentary enclosure awards, while Elizabeth Prowse introduced
wide-ranging agricultural improvements after the informal enclosure of the open
fields at Wicken. The contributions of these women and others like them to a
bundle of related practices – including parliamentary enclosure and agricultural
improvement, but also non-agricultural sources of estate income – are discussed
in this chapter.
