Books on the Fens is a compilation of four different works by Charles MacFarlane, a British historian and writer. The first book, The Camp of Refuge, is a historical novel set in the 17th century during the English Civil War. It tells the story of a group of Royalist soldiers who seek refuge in the Fens and their interactions with the local people. The second book, History of Thorney Abbey, is a detailed account of the history of Thorney Abbey, a Benedictine monastery in Cambridgeshire, England. MacFarlane covers the founding of the abbey, its growth and decline, and its eventual dissolution during the English Reformation.The third book, The Fenland, Past and Present, is a comprehensive study of the Fens, a low-lying region in eastern England known for its marshy landscape. MacFarlane explores the history, geography, and ecology of the Fens, as well as the culture and traditions of the people who have lived there throughout history.The fourth book, The Fen and Marshland Churches, is a guidebook to the churches of the Fens and their history and architecture. MacFarlane provides detailed descriptions of each church, along with information about their construction, design, and historical significance.Overall, Books on the Fens offers a fascinating glimpse into the history and culture of one of England's most unique and distinctive regions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
