A personal, historical journey across one of the most mysterious regions of England, exploring its archaeology, history and landscapes by one of Britain’s most distinguished living archaeologists.
The Fens is a personal story of the authors’ discovery, as both an archeologist and farmer, of this distinctive, complex, enduring, man-made and little understood landscape.
Francis Pryor is one of Britain’s most distinguished living archaeologists, and the excavator of Flag Fen. He is the author of Home, Britain BC, Britain AD, Seahenge, The Making of the British Landscape and Stonehenge. As well as an archaeologist and author, he is a broadcaster and has regularly appeared on Channel 4’s Time Team.
Copies of ‘The Fens’ will be available to purchase on the evening.
With the support of Walkers Bookshop.
