The Story of the Fens Book

Once known as the "drowned lands," the Fens have been transformed from a flooded area with only small islands habitable throughout the year into one of the most productive and fertile regions of the country. At the heart of this reclamation, however, is the constant dramatic battle against the ever-present enemy of encroaching sea and upland water. Deeply attached to the Fens, Valerie Gerrard weaves an intricate tapestry of the history and indomitable people of the area. The charming village streets, the great parish churches and abbeys, the high river-banks, the floods, the black earth of the peat fens, and more are all lovingly described in this book.Read More
