The Eton Wick we know today surrounded by green fields is the result of the protests made by the residents of the village and Eton that stopped their enclosure in the late 18th century. The Berkshire Records Office website, berkshireclosure.org.uk has images of the maps of the areas that were subject to Enclosure Acts and plenty of information about the change that happened.
