The rear doors of the Octagon Chapel. We've kept them unrestored as that's part of their history. Proud of our @WisbechSociety Trustee's design to cover them for future display! #WisbechHeritage #ConnectingWisbech

Wisbech North and South Brink, Ayscoughee Hall in Spalding, Moulton Windmill, all show the Fens as a rich area. #Fenland
#Boston Stump, Thorney Abbey, Ely Cathedral, King's Lynn gates all are symbols of the area's prosperity
Using dendrochronology It was found that fence posts from different trees were spaced in order, in such a way as to indicate organisation in the building of the structure.
