Description
For some forty years Francis Pryor has dug the soils of the Fens of Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire working as an archaeologist and raising sheep in the flower-growing country between Spalding and Wisbech. In this book, he counterpoints the history of the Fenland landscape and its transformation - from Bronze age field systems to Iron Age hillforts; from the rise of prosperous towns such as King's Lynn, Ely and Cambridge to the ambitious drainage projects that created the Old and New Bedford Rivers.
