We were always greatly helped by Jack Ward of March and by the late W. L. Hanchant who was Curator of Wisbech Museum and a tireless scholar of local history; while to the present Curator of Wisbech Museum, Rosalinda Hardiman, special thanks are due for providing both information and objects for study and for sorting out the records. I am also especially indebted to the Fenland Field Officer, David Hall, who has been more than generous in making available information and maps of the results of his outstanding work of ground-survey; and I would like to pay special tribute to Catherine Johns who, apart from writing a significant proportion of this paper, has aided its preparation in every possible way. My thanks are also due to the British Museum for providing the facilities to produce this paper and to John Wilkes for expert editorial guidance. Finally, I would like to acknowledge the special debt to my father, formerly Headmaster of March Grammar School, and to my mother, who suffered but still encouraged the archaeological work described in this paper.
