Landownership & tenancy, farms & farming

This page will tell the story of land ownership and tenancy and of the farms and farming in the village, from the medieval open fields, through enclosure in 1779, to the modern farms.

There are sections on farming in the parish in the two 'Red books' in the General accounts section of the website:

• Farming in Terrington Now and Then (1998) by Gerry Bradshaw
• In Terrington: A History of the Parish (1964) by Mary Dymond, the sections on The Manorial Parish, The Open-Field Economy, and Inclosure and Afterwards.

There is more information in:

• Enclosure of the Open Fields
