	Fens - LoveToKnow 1911
		This district took name from the agreement of Francis, earl of Bedford, the principal landholder, and thirteen other adventurers, with Charles I. in 1634, to drain the level, on condition of receiving 95,000 acres of the reclaimed land.
		In r Soo the river was dammed immediately above Boston by a large sluice, the effect of which was not only to hinder free navigation up to Lincoln (to which city sea-going vessels used to penetrate in the r4th and 15th centuries), but also to choke the channel below Boston with sedimentary matter.
		Of the crops peculiar to the region it must suffice to mention the old British dye-plant woad, which is still grown on a small scale in two or three parishes immediately south of Boston; hemp, which was extensively grown in the 18th century, but is not now planted; and peppermint, which is occasionally grown, e.g.

		The Old Bedford River is an artificial, partial diversion of the waters of the River Great Ouse in the Fens of Cambridgeshire, England.
		It was named after the Francis, Earl of Bedford who, as one of Charles I's drainage contractors in the Fens, financed the construction of this man-made canal or "cut" in the first half of the 17th century.
		The Old Bedford River is part of the former as it applies in the Bedford Levels.

	Bedford
		Bedford suffered greatly from the Danes, who destroyed it, "ever burning as they went" But it was speedily rebuilt.
		Everywhere in the beautiful Vale of Bedford and in the neighbourhood, Faukes de Brent and his men were seen harrying and robbing; no one could resist him; he and his men seemed to have been like the Doones of Exmoor, their hand against every man and every man's hand against them.
		But this command was not fulfilled to the letter, for the ruined castle of Bedford was seen 250 years afterwards, and Camden says that the ruins overhung the river on the east side of the town, in his day.

	GenBook02
		Indian ownership of the lands to the west of that river was respected by the proprietary government of the Province of Pennsylvania; some groups of settlers, though, ignored the legal boundaries.
		With this treaty settling the question of whether these settlers were encroaching on Indian lands, the proprietary government turned its attention from worrying about the effect the settlements might have on their relationship with the Indian landowners to simply making sure that the settlers paid their allegiance (and taxes) to the proprietary government.
		The "mother" county of Bedford was eventually reduced in size by the erection of Westmoreland, Huntingdon, Somerset, Blair and Fulton Counties from its original boundaries.

		The water level in the Hundred Foot river and the river Great Ouse upstream of Earith is regulated to sustain flood defence standards of protection to surrounding land.
		The second is related to the core of the river basin approach: It is not a pertinent solution to shift the high water level problems of the Ouse Washes simply to another subsystem within the Ouse River basin, without a prior integrated assessment.
		Within a river basin approach, an integrated strategy should be developed to support the ecological, social, economical, historical and landscape values of the area for flood defence, biodiversity, agriculture, and varied leisure activities.
