Catalogue description Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Departments, and related bodies: Orders of Exchange of Lands under the Enclosure Acts

This series comprises orders of exchange of lands under the Enclosure Acts.

File numbers were assigned in chronological order at the moment of their creation. These have been used to distinguish items within the same piece. At or before transfer the records were re-arranged in alphabetical order; hence, the item references created with file numbers appear out of sequence.
