There is no leal duty to erect a fence or any barrier to divide properties. If you want one, put one up.
Jen, check your deeds. It will say who is responsible for which boundary and whether they are obliged to erect any physical boundary or not.
Who owns the fence?
Unless stated in the deeds that a fence MUST be erected and maintained then no one.

Other than the above the person with animals has a duty to keep their animals fenced in.

You can download a copy of yours and your neighbours deeds from the land registry website for about £5 eash. This should indicate with a T whos responsibility it is and if there are any conditions set.
