Wild pastures: an introduction to the enclosure of Allendale Common (1790-1810)

For centuries, vast expanses of the West and East Allen were common land. That changed from 1792. The many miles of stone dykes that criss-cross the Allen dales seem timeless, but most were constructed in just a few years after 1800.
Join Jared Dunn as he shares an introduction to the enclosure of Allendale Common and hear about how the Allen dales landscape we value today has its roots in ‘enclosure’.
