The Reformation exacted considerable changes on towns across Britain, occurring at the same time as the shift away from broadcloths to other economies. Part of the process of change was the de-sacralization of former monastic spaces. The parallel process of increased commons enclosures alongside acquisitions of church lands produced a secularized and privatized landscape which transitioned the medieval city to the modern. The active enclosures by Coventry corporation in the 1530s and 1540s, and local documents rationalizing such actions under the concept of benefiting the common weal, provide a clear example of the process.

都铎考文垂的封闭和去神圣化，以及现代城市空间的基础

宗教改革对英国各地的城镇造成了相当大的变化，同时发生了从宽幅布衣到其他经济体的转变。变革过程的一部分是前修道院空间的去神圣化。增加公共圈地和收购教堂土地的并行过程产生了世俗化和私有化的景观，将中世纪城市转变为现代城市。考文垂公司在 1530 年代和 1540 年代的积极圈地活动，以及在造福大众的理念下合理化此类行为的当地文件，提供了一个清晰的例子。
