The picture of the flooding is clearly shown, the scale is visible. It is not clear where so much water came from? Were there long periods of rain? At what date did the water level in the river begin to rise?

It kind of on the edge of Fenlands. So the land is around 8 meters above sea level. The River Great Ouse is not large enough to cope with lots of rainfall in the winter period. So you have flooding happen nearly every year. The land West North and south of Huntingdon is round 45-20 meter above sea level. The land North east and south east go down to 3-1 meter above sea level.
