At Earith, two artificial diversion channels of the River Great Ouse, the Old Bedford River and the New Bedford River, leave the river on a course to Denver Sluice near Downham Market, where they rejoin the Great Ouse in its tidal part. Signpost in Earith The village has a small number of local shops, a post office, two public houses, a part-time surgery, and a school. The village does not have a parish church. A business now occupies what was once the National School, and the Wesleyan Chapel, erected in 1828, is now a private house.

Both activities are depicted in the village sign. Two large lakes were formed to the north of the village during gravel quarrying in the 1960s. Today the site is home to a fishery. History A Roman bronze statue was found to the west of the village at Bury Fen in 1826. It is now in the British Museum. To the North East of the village, between the Old Bedford River and the New Bedford River lies the remains of an English Civil War fort known as Earith Bulwark. It is believed to have been constructed as early as 1643, to fortify the crossing point of the River Ouse. Many fenland inhabitants resented the Royalists because they believed that the King's drainage projects undertaken by Dutch engineer Cornelius Vermuyden, had damaged their livelihoods (his Forty Foot Drain had been completed in 1637). Today, the fort is visible as a series of earthworks only, showing a square fort design with ditches and corner bastions. It is similar in design to Fort Nassau in the Netherlands. During the Second World War, a machine gun turret was built on the south bastion.[1] In 1947, there was the "Battle of Earith Gap". Melting snow had built up in the Fenland waterways, unable to be released into the sea because of high tides. On 17 March a 50 yards (46 m) gap was torn in the river bank, and water poured out to flood the Fen farms for five days. Eventually the breach was blocked with amphibious vehicles while more orthodox repair work was carried out.[2] Transportation The village was connected to railway services in 1865, with a station located to the east of the village, in an area named Earith Bridge, on the Ely and St Ives Railway. Passenger services were discontinued in 1931, and the Earith section of railway was closed in 1958. The long distance footpath The Ouse Valley Way links the village with Stretham (11 miles (18 km)) and St. Ives (6 miles (10 km)). The village is served by a number of regular bus services: 21, two hourly service to St Ives or villages towards Ramsey (operated by Whippet Coaches) 21, two hourly service to St Ives or villages towards Chatteris (operated by Stagecoach in Huntingdonshire) 91, one morning service to Cambridge allowing a return journey in the evening (college days) (operated by Stagecoach in Huntingdonshire) References ^ Earith Bulwark, Fortified Places ^ Sutton Online External links Media related to Earith at Wikimedia Commons
