That there was a Mere in Welle, called the Wide.
Robert de Swaffham in his Hist. h 1.1 of the Foundation of Peterborough un∣der the title De gestis ••ncliti militis Herewardi, saith; that Hereward fleeing William the Conqueror, cum navibus su∣is, quas habebat benè armis munitas &c. in quoddam mare Wide vocatum, juxta Welle secessit, magnum & spaciosum la∣teribus aquarum, & liberos exitus habens. The name and tract of which Meer yet remaineth in the Fens of Upwell, Wide lode being ordained to be clen∣sed by the same Law that Small lode was.
