How did the Enclosure movement start in England?

Solution

When the price of wool went up in the world market in 16th century, rich farmers decided to increase production of wool. So, they began dividing and enclosing common land, building hedges around their fields to separate their property from that of others. Thus, the Enclosure movement started in England.
