  • Tokens Found in Haddenham, Cambridgeshire, and a Seventeenth-Century Issuer
    TOKENS FOUND IN HADDENHAM, CAMBRIDGESHIRE, AND A SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY ISSUER M.J. BONSER AND R.H. THOMPSON, with contributions by C.F. BESTER THE Revd. William Cole, the Cambridge antiquary (1714-82), owned extensive property in Haddenham in the south-west of the Isle of Ely, and two tokens found there are illustrated and described in vol. 32 of his manuscript collections.1 A. Garden of William Symonds, -1768. The first 'was dug up in a Garden belonging to me at Hadenham in the Isle of Ely, & given to me by my Tenant Wm Symonds in January 1768'. The second was 'found at Hadenham & given me as above 1768'. The wording in both cases leaves the date of finding open to doubt, but if not actually in 1768 it was presumably not long before. Cole's father had purchased several hundred acres including five tenements, to which the antiquary himself added two closes;- and the location of William Symonds's garden must remain uncertain, although it was probably in the hamlet of Aldreth, adjoinjng Ewell Fen in which Cole's farm Frog Hall was situated (a farmhouse and several cottages in Aldreth were associated with Frog Hall Farm until about 1944). 1. Nuremberg Rechenmeister jetton or Schulpfennig; second half of the sixteenth century. Similar to No. 20 below, but alphabet with G reversed and no additional letters; not illustrated. 2. Seventeenth-century token; c. 1660. Obv. IAMES PARTRICH OF around a mitre; surname appears as 'RICH'. Rev. ROOYSTON VINTNER around letter P above IC. Williamson,3 Hertfordshire 165 or 166; probably 165, on which a flaw developed across the first part of the surname; not illustrated.

  • The Ouse Washes
    NRA Anglii j i t - u THE OUSE WASHES “The Ouse Washes offer a rich variety of experiences both as an internationally important wildlife site and its continuing role of protecting the fens from flooding. ” O wildlife RSPB NRA National Rivers Authority Anglian Region THE ANGLIAN REGION The Anglian Region hosts a rich variety of wildlife habitats, flora and landscapes associated with its streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, wetlands, estuaries and coastal waters. Many of these are protected by statutory designations, for example, 75% of the coastline is covered by a conservation and/or landscape designation. Five Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty fall either partially or wholly within Anglian Region, along with England's newest National Park - the Broads. A fifth of England and Wales internationally important wetlands, from large estuaries such as the Humber and the Wash, to Ouse Washes in flood washlands such as the Ouse Washes, occur within this region. THE OUSE WASHES - FLOOD DEFENCE IMPORTANCE The Middle and South Level Barrier Banks contain Bedford Ouse flood flows within the Ouse Washes and are therefore vital for the flood protection of the Cambridgeshire Fens. Complete towns, villages and isolated dwellings, Flood waters are able to flow throigh \ together with approximately 29,000 the Hundred Foot River when pean " hectatres of agricultural land are protected from flooding by the Ouse When the peak flood has passed, i Washes Defences. Washes and back into the Old Failure of the South Level Barrier Bank would cause over 230 residential properties to be flooded to depths of up to 1.8m. As much as 11,000 hectares of Flooded washland and ditches agricultural land would be flooded.

  • Great Ouse Valley Flood Plain Meadows Background
    Great Ouse Valley flood plain meadows Dr J Patrick Doody, Brampton and Martin Baker, Wildlife Trust BCN Background The River Great Ouse is approximately 230km long and runs from Northamptonshire in the west in a roughly north easterly direction, to the Wash. In the upper catchment, although a highly regulated waterway, it largely follows its original course until it reaches Earith. Flood plain meadows are significant features bordering the River Great Ouse and its tributaries. They have provided an important source of hay and pasture for domesticated stock, which may date back a thousand years or more. They seem to have had a diverse flora and fauna, remnants of which survive today. This paper looks at the meadows that lie within the river valley running through Huntingdonshire District between St Neots and Earith (Figure 1). This article seeks to bring together the work already undertaken on assessing the nature conservation importance of meadows within the River Great Ouse Valley, describe what has happened to them and consider their conservation. Figure 1 River Great Ouse Introduction In southern and eastern England, three of the more recent glacial periods helped form the present River Great Ouse valley. The Anglian Glaciation, lasting from approximately 478,000 to 424,000 years ago, covered much of the area with glacial till (boulder clay). Two further glaciations affected Britain. The Wolstonian spanned a period of 245,000 years but only came as far south as Huntingdon about 160,000 years ago, when an ‘ice lobe’ the ‘Tottenhill glaciation’ projected into the tundra. This may have been key to the final position of the Great Ouse valley with the northerly course of the river being “diverted sharply to the east at Huntingdon, blocked by the till sheet to the north.” (Gibbard et al.
