The Anglo-Saxon fenland was colourfully described by the great Clifford Darby as ‘a frontier region … the resort of brigands and bandits’ in whose empty wilderness saints like Æthelthryth of Ely and Guthlac of Crowland established their new monasteries. The course critically examines these assumptions in the light of recent research which suggests fenland history was more complicated and more interesting in this period.
