Please join us for this Talk!

Peter Cross-Rudkin is a retired civil engineer and fellow/researcher at Coventry University.

He will explore the history of how the Fens came into existence, continuing through the Roman and Anglo-Saxon periods. He will explain how an area of nearly 1,500 square miles, now spanning Cambridgeshire,

Lincolnshire and Norfolk, became a dynamic ecosystem, and how Charles I later granted a royal charter to drain the land with help from the Dutch.
