TitlePetition of the Owners and Occupiers of Land in Stilton, Yaxley, Farcet, Stanground, Whittlesey, Ramsey, March, Caldecote, Denton, Glatton, Holme, Sawtry, Wood Walton and Upwood
DescriptionThe petitioners report that the upland waters [of Huntingdonshire] have no outfall from the Middle Level. They ask for the rivers and drains to be scoured as soon as possible, as they are very overgrown. They also ask for the dam across Bevill's Leam to be removed, as it is obstructing the passage of water. They also ask for Tong's Drain to be the outfall for the Middle Level, as was originally intended. Eighty three signatories
