Chatteris in Myth and Memory Polly Howat

Did you know that a Fen Tiger is not an animal? Have you heard about the Black Shuck, a mythical hellhound, who it's claimed still roams many parts of the UK, including Chatteris? Heard about the Wise Woman, who uses her scrying bowl to tell the future? This book is an exploration of myths and memories of the town and people of Chatteris. Discovering Chatteris as you never knew it before, this book is a mythical guide for a newcomer, and a treasured keepsake for those who live in Chatteris and the Fens. Chatteris in Myth and Memory is a community led project curated by Market Place, part of Creative People and Places programme, initiated and funded by Arts Council England through the National Lottery.
