General Inclosure Act. An Act to facilitate the Inclosure and Improvement of
Commons and Lands held in common. Enclosure, or the process that ended
traditional rights on common land formerly held in the open field system and
restricted the use of land to the owner, is one of the causes of the
Agricultural Revolution and a key factor behind the labour migration from
rural areas to gradually industrializing cities. Kelly’s
Directories
began. The
Lunacy and County Asylum Acts described those with mental illness as patients
and provided for inspection by Masters in Chancery of asylums. Mentally ill
persons in workhouses were moved to asylums. The

Matthew was a farmer of Craggs Hall Farm. There is a story that, while living
at Tranmire (or possibly before, in August 1879, according to one record),
Martin asked Matthew to go and take Craggs Hall for him. On his return
Matthew said that he had taken it, but for himself! It was said that when
Matthew came back and told Martin what he had done, they both walked back to
Kilton Thorpe without saying a word. Martin however always spoke highly of
his brother who helped him to get to Tidkinhow, a farm on Wharton estate. It
is said that Matthew later lent Martin some money to acquire Tidkinhow Farm
and that Martin took this in part as repayment of his previous 'loan' and for
the rest, Matthew used to come to Tidkinhow each year for many years to claim
the three best lambs as part repayment.
