History on your Doorstep: 1: Swavesey

BBC Two

Eight films presented by Fred Housego
The rise and fall of a medieval village. To any visitor driving through Swavesey today it is as ordinary a village as any. it nas a manor house, parish church and market square. But, as Fred Housego found from Jack Ravensdale and members of the Swavesey Local History Society, if you know what to look for there are plenty of clues to a rich and varied past which reveal that Swavesey may not be just an ordinary Fenland village after all.
