Re-enactors have set foot across the Fens today as they revive the actions of Hereward the Wake for charity. 
Hereward, played by Steven Payne and his band of men, left for Ely Cathedral this morning, exactly 951 years ago since they launched an attack on Peterborough, where they began their trek. 
The role of Hereward was meant to be played by long-distance hiker Lewis Kirkbride, who was “stuck on the A1” according to David Maile of the WakeHereward Project.  ....

East Cambs Council backs Fenland Flag | Wisbech Standard


Mr Bowman, a local resident vexillographer embarked on the design and promotion of a flag for the Fenland area in 2016.  
Cllr Bailey said: “Mr Bowman writes that the symbol of the Fens is the Fen Tiger and that this designation derives from the, sometimes violent, opposition of the local population to the fen drainage schemes of the 17th century.  
“‘Fen Tiger’ is a well-known and well used nickname for someone from the Fens; many associations and businesses in the area use the term, sometimes with logos that feature tigers.” 
Cllr Bailey said Mr Bowman has run a successful campaign since 2018 to encourage take up and usage of the flag “with the ultimate aim of having the flag officially recognised through inclusion in the registry of the Flag Institute”.   ....
