LUDHAM. 



The commons were enclosed in 1801 : ail cottagers 

 that claimed, had allotments; and one for fuel to the 

 •whole ; but the cottages did not belong to the poor ; the 

 allotments in general went to the larger propi ietc vs, and the 

 poor consequently were left, in this respedl, destitute: many 

 cows were kept before, few now. All the poor very much 

 against the measure.
