Time line Graphic to illustrate the development of the landscape
These graphics I have produced try to show how I think the environment around Ankerwycke developed over the last 1000 years.
The course of the Thames hasn't changed greatly from its present route, though in the centuries prior to 1100 it would have consisted of a more braided system. Palaeochannels are evident beneath the ground surface and allude to a very different landscape following the last Ice Age.
