TitlePetition of the Inhabitants of Swaffham Bulbeck
DescriptionThe petitioners represent that they can only reach one of the fens by a narrow droveway, which the Bedford Level Corporation wish to dig up to repair an adjacent bank. They argue that this would make it impassable. They ask the Corporation to scour out the new lode, and to raise the bank with the silt. They promise to lay 2000 loads of good quality earth on top. Twenty signatories.
