Note 13 — Chapter II · THE VILLAGE BEFORE ENCLOSURE

For cases where changes in the system of cultivation of common fields had been made, see Annals of Agriculture, vol. xvi. p. 606: ‘To Peterborough, crossing an open field, but sown by agreement with turnips.’ Cf. Report on Bedfordshire: ‘Clover is sown in some of the open clay-fields by common consent’ (p. 339), and ‘Turnips are sometimes cultivated, both on the sands and gravels, by mutual consent’ (p. 340).
