Hidden History: Enclosure and Resistance in Soham, England
This is the first in an occasional series we'll be producing that highlights an interesting, but poorly known corner of English history. In this episode, we look at the history of local resistance to enclosure and fen drainage in the village of Soham, located in the Cambridgeshire fens, in England. Its an amazing story, and I hope that I've done it some justice. Many facts and the photos used were sourced here: Photo source: A F Wareham and PM Wright. “Soham,” in A History of the County of Cambridge and the Isle of Ely: Vol 10, Cheveley, Flendish, Stainse, and Staploe Hundreds (North-Eastern Cambridgeshire).
