The River Great Ouse in Cambridgeshire has a long history of water milling, stretching back to at least the 10th century and possibly to the Roman period. The speakers have used remote sensing (LiDAR), cartographic analysis, fieldwork, documents (especially contemporary litigation) and literary sources to reveal new findings about this fascinating landscape.
Speakers: Keith Grimwade, Past President of the Geographical Association, and Bridget Flanagan, a trustee of the Great Ouse Valley Trust. Their book, The Watermills and Landscape of the River Great Ouse, Cambridgeshire will be published by Oxbow Books in June.
