N2 - • This chapter asks why the English enclosure movement has been considered in isolation from colonial enclosures (the British conquest and appropriation of overseas territories).• It offers a brief history of land enclosures in England and outlines the standard social-scientific account of their role in the making of modern Britain.• It troubles this standard account by examining the entangled relationship between domestic and colonial enclosures. • It considers how resituating domestic enclosures in the context of colonial enclosures enriches our understandings of the making of modern Britain.• It asks how this more expansive account of enclosures might deepen social- scientific understandings of ongoing forms of global capitalist enclosure in the contemporary world.
