In that large, important and improving District of the County, formerly the East, West, and Wildmoor Fens, several new Villages have arisen, and a great addition has been made to the Population of the old surrounding Parishes, principally since the Census in the year 1811. 40,482 Acres, in a state of the lowest possible value, and 20,000 Acres more of Fen Lauds and Commons on its borders* have been completely drained, and brought into profitable cultivation. The expense of this vast work of territorial improvement, begun in 1802 and completed in 1813, was £ 580,000, and was defrayed by the sale of 13,900 Acres of Land. That portion, together with 1673 Acres allotted as compen- sations for Manorial Rights, and the building and endowment of Chapels, being all thereby made extra- parochial, were, by an Act of Parliament passed in 1812, formed into seven Townships, and named as follows: names. Eastville - - Midville - - Frithville - - Carrington - - Westville - - Thorntou- le- Feu SITrATIONS.
