A little about Wisbech

Wisbech is a pleasant market town in the Fens of Cambridgeshire. The River Nene runs through the centre of the town and is spanned by two bridges. The name is believed to mean on the back of the river Ouse, Ouse being a common Celtic word relating to water and the name of a river that once flowed through the town.

Some Wisbech history

During the Iron Age, the area of Wisbech was in the west of the Brythonic Iceni tribes territory. Icenian coins have been found in both March and Wisbech.

Wisbech in Anglo-Saxon times

Like the rest of the county of Cambridgeshire, Wisbech was part of the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of East Anglia. The kingdom of East Anglia was formed in the 6th Century in the wake of the Anglo-Saxon settlement of the British Isles. It was initially ruled by the Wuffingas dynasty, named after Wuffa, whose name means descendants of the wolf, during the 7th and 8th Centuries.

One of the first proven references to Wisbech is in a charter dated 664, that grants the Abbey at Medeshamstede, which is now Peterborough land in Wisbech and in 1000, when Oswy and Leoflede, on the admission of their son Aelfwin as a monk, gave the vill to the monastery of Ely. Vill is a term used in English history to describe the basic rural land unit, roughly comparable to that of a parish, manor, village or tithing.

Wisbech in Norman times

In 1086, when Wisbech was held by the abbot, there mwere around sixty five to seventy families, in Wisbech manor. However, Wisbech, which is the only one of the Marshland parishes to be mentioned in the Domesday Book, probably comprised the whole area from Tydd Gote down to the far end of Upwell at Welney.

A castle was built by William I to fortify the site. By 1086, the population was that of a large village. The main industries practiced by villagers was farming and fishing.

Richard I gave Wisbech a charter. King John of England visited the castle on 12 October 1216 as he came from Bishops Lynn. Tradition has it that his baggage train was lost to the incoming tide of The Wash. Treasure hunters are still looking for the lost royal treasure today, although it is doubtful any will have survived under water all this time. Twenty years later the castle was destroyed by sea flooding; but was rebuilt by 1246.

The Charter of Edward VI of 1549 raised the Wisbech to a corporation. In the same year a plot of land for the school house was donated. By 1333, the kiln in Wisbech was producing thousands of bricks for construction. There were several fisheries belonging to the manor of Wisbech and a porpoise was sent to Wisbech Castle.

From Tudor times in Wisbech

During the protestant reigns of Elizabeth I, James I, and Charles I, there was a state ecclesiastical prison in Wisbech for Catholics, many of whom died there owing to the appaling conditions. In 1588 it is claimed that two of the gunpowder plot accused were committed to Wisbeach Castle. The last Abbot of Westminster, John Feckenham was also held at Wisbech Castle. The palace was demolished and replaced with a mansion in the middle of the 17th century, and this mansion was demolished in 1816.

In 1620 former Wisbech residents William White and Dorothea Bradford sailed on the Mayflower to the New World with her husband William Bradford, who would later become Governor Bradford. The Mayflower was an English ship that transported a group of English families known today as the Pilgrims from England to the New World in 1620. Afterten weeks at sea, the Mayflower, with 102 passengers and a crew of about 30, reached America, dropping anchor near the tip of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in November 1620. A year on, they celebrated their autumn harvest, which became the first Thanksgiving in America.
