Cambridgeshire
English county rising from the Fens district to its greatest height
near Covington. The Roman period saw some draining of the Fens -
by the time of the Domesday Book (1086), the record of the land
survey ordered by William the Conqueror showed a similar settlement
pattern to the present day. Today the area is rich in architectural
styles with Cambridge University and Ely Cathedral offering outstanding
examples. In Cambridge and Ely, this county has two of the most
historic cities in England.
