TitlePetition of Sir Clement Trafford, Christopher Adamson, Ann Hudson and Edward Smith, on behalf of the other owners of fen Lands in Northwold, Stoke Ferry, Wretton, Wereham and West Dereham
DescriptionThe petitioners represent that their fen lands are almost constantly flooded, as the waters from the River Wissey and the String River soak through the bank of East Fen and overflow Roxham Drain. They wish to prevent this from happening, and ask for permission to divert the waters into the River Wissey above Stoke Ferry Bridge. Four signatories.
