	Stour - LoveToKnow 1911
		(1) The EastAnglian Stour rises in the slight chalk hills in the south-east of Cambridgeshire and follows a course ranging from east to southeast to the North Sea at Harwich, passing Clare, Sudbury, Nayland and Manningtree.

		The larger branch is joined in the levels by the Little Stour from the south.

		The Stour at this point presents no particular attractions, and is, moreover, rather narrow, but it has comparatively clear water, with a considerable current and with depth enough to float small craft.
		A little lower down the Little Stour joins the main river, but, from all accounts, is not navigable.
		A little farther on we came to Sandwich, one of the Cinque Ports, for in the 11th century it was one of the most important harbours of the south coast line, though one's imagination has to travel a long way back to appreciate this fact.

		The result of this can be seen by the local water company noting the variation in the water level in the wells and boreholes in the chalk.
		The level starts rising in the late autumn and continues until early spring when vegetation and evaporation take most of the rainfall and little is available to replenish the underground resources.
		Here, local springs are usually feeding the lake, and this is the normal source of the Little Stour.

		This renowned group of itinerant players began life as an offshoot of the Morris Men of Little Egypt.
		As the confidence of the side has developed, they have taken, first, to adapting the rtraditional scripts to suit the Little Egypt environment, then, to writing their own versions, and now to performing a totally new interpretation of the whole tradition.
		Most important of all, the performance goes down very well, and provides a pleasant diversion from the more serious matter of "Going Ahead" which normally follows a little Egypt performance.

		Two days of walking from Boughton Lees saw me to the end of the British section; well over 800 miles, but I haven't worked out the exact number.
		Not always the easy walking I'd expected, particularly yesterday when I followed the Saxon Shoreway, alongside the Little Stour and then the Stour itself, forcing my way through cow parsley, grass and nettles almost as tall as me. Tiring work.

		Although I might get complaints from the residents, there is actually little to distinguish this village from the neighbouring Chartham.
		At East Stourmouth the Greater Stour meets the Little Stour and the combined flow of the River them meanders down to Sandwich and the sea.
		At one time, both villages were, as their names suggest, the actual entrances to the two Rivers before the Wantsum Channel, between Reculver and Sandwich, silted up completely.

		The Little Stour, from which the village of Littlebourne takes its name, is as the name suggests `Little` yet within 2 kms of its length there are three water mills, Littlebourne, Wickhambreaux and Seaton.
