Excerpt from History of the Fens of South Lincolnshire: Being a Description of the Rivers Witham and Welland and Their Estuary; And an Account of the Reclamation and Drainage of the Fens Adjacent Thereto The original formation of the soil of these fens, although recent in the geological classification, takes us back to a time anterior to the existence of man, when the whole of this district was beneath the waters of the sea. For a depth of nearly 600 feet nothing has been discovered but an aqueous deposit of clay mixed with shells and stones. At the time when this history commences, this deposit had accumulated to such a height as to be above the ordinary tides, and only the lower portion of the Fens, or the parts nearest to the sea, were under ordinary circumstances over flowed by their action. Possibly trees had already grown to a considerable size on the higher portion, or that furthest removed from the sea; and on spots here and there in the lower parts, which had risen higher than the rest - as we see in the villages of Stickney and Sibsey at the present day - and these were doubtless inhabited by the aborigines of the island. The rest was covered with coarse grass, sometimes available for pasturage, and at others inundated in turns by the overflowings of the rivers and the tides. The land at this time was peopled by the Britons, a rude, uncultivated race of men. Their religion was one that sought the solitudes of woods and dark groves for the Observance of their mysterious and sometimes sanguinary rites, and probably the priests availed themselves of the secret recesses of the Fens for the erection of their altars.
