		After completing several extensive drainage works in North Lincolnshire, at the Isle of Axholme, and close by in Yorkshire, at Hatfield Chase, near which place he died in poverty, Vermuyden under-took to drain the Great Level in 1629, on consideration of his being granted 95,000 acres of the reclaimed land.
		He was at first hindered in his contract by the popular prejudice, at that time existing, against a foreigner; but eventually, being aided by the Earl of Bedford, from whom the Level derives its name, and who died in 1641, Vermuyden at length declared his great work completed in 1638.
		However, in 1639 the whole proceedings of the engineers and projectors of the recent drainage were annulled, the drainage was declared defective, and the land promised as compensation for the trouble and expense of the undertaking to Vermuyden and his associates, the Earl of Bedford and Bolingbroke, was forfeited before it was enjoyed.
