===Enclosure movement in Church Broughton===
[[Enclosure]] occurred in Church Broughton in the 18th and 19th centuries; land that had been formerly owned in common by all members of a village became privately owned land. This entailed erecting walls, fences and hedges around new enclosed areas. The English government and aristocracy claimed this would allow for better raising of animals and crops, and that large fields could be farmed more productively than individual plots of the common land.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund|url=http://www.celdf.org/article.php?id=638|work=The Enclosure Movement|accessdate=27 February 2014}}</ref>

Negotiations started in 1758 for Church Broughton to be enclosed in 1775. Farmers within the village bought and sold land from each other. The people who held little or no land but had been allowed to graze their animals on the common land were bought out by wealthier land owners, and then [[Wage labour|employed for labour]].
