Little Downham
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Situated in the east of Cambridgeshire, the village of Little Downham is located just 3 miles north of the city of Ely. It was the only site in Cambridgeshire to be covered by the Survey of English Dialects.
In the Domesday Book the village is called Duneham. At the time the Fens were mostly flooded, and the village is on a small rise of solid ground (visible today), so there may have been 'dunes' there.
