Enclosure and Tithe Records

The full text with side annotations of the Little Gransden Enclosure Award is provided by way of PDF attachment at the foot of this page.

The text without side annotations is reproduced below. Approximately the first one third is administrative preamble and after that the Awards follow in alphabetical surname order after the two main landowners. The word "Inclosure" has been changed to the modern "Enclosure". Some minor changes have been made but capitalisations, which were inconsistently applied, largely follow the original text. The Enclosure Award map or Plan is best consulted at Cambridgeshire Archives as it is of significant size and detail.

To all whom these presents shall come We William Custance late of the Town of Cambridge in the County of Cambridge and now of Great Russell Street Bloomsbury in the County of Middlesex Gentleman and John Burcham of Coningsby in the County of Lincoln Gentleman Send Greeting Whereas by an Act of Parliament passed in the fifty third year of the Reign of His late Majesty King George the Third entitled “An Act for enclosing Lands in the parish of Little Gransden in the County of Cambridge” Reciting that there were in the parish of Little Gransden in the County of Cambridge certain Old Enclosures Woods open and Common lands and waste grounds.

And reciting that the lands in the said open and Common fields did lie intermixed and dispersed in small parcels and the said Common Meadows Heaths and other open and commonable lands and waste grounds in their then state yielded but little profit and were incapable of any considerable improvement and that it would be very advantageous if the same were divided and allotted amongst the several Owners thereof and persons interested therein in proportion and according to their respective estates rights and interests in the same and if such Allotments were enclosed so far as was expedient and if all the Old Enclosures woods lands and grounds in the said parish were exonerated from the payment of tithes but inasmuch as such division allotment enclosure and exoneration from tithes could not be effected without the aid and authority of Parliament.
