Inundations Hit Norfolk and Lincolnshire Waters Rise
Reports from Norfolk and Lincolnshire describe severe floods from the Great Sea Bark breaking in several places. Cattle were lost as residents fled to boats, with water spreading to Cambridge and the Isle of Ely. Similar floods flood other regions, with towns under water for days and communities using boats for life and work.
