The #Hereward Community Rail Partnership (CRP) has upgraded its website into a comprehensive hub for travel and tourism in North #Cambridgeshire, thanks to over £4,000 of funding from Greater Anglia’s Customer and Community Improvement Fund. The Hereward line, covering #Peterborough, #Whittlesea, #March, #Manea, and #Ely, now benefits from a revamped website featuring drone footage, travel guides, itineraries, interactive and walking/cycling maps. The upgrade aims to inspire sustainable rail-based tourism and make travel planning easier. Wendy Otter from Fenland District Council praised the improvements for promoting local tourism and accessibility, while Greater Anglia’s Scott Dolling highlighted the railway’s commitment to supporting local communities. The fund supports community-led rail projects that bring local and societal benefits across the Greater Anglia network.

The Liber Eliensis (ca:1174) is another source from the Fen Monasteries eulogising Hereward. It includes Hereward's actions at Ely during the Norman Conquest & is possibly an earlier draft of the Gesta Herwardi.

#HerewardTheWake's standard held aloft by his standard-bearer Rahenald the Steward of Ramsey, performed by young Percy Lamb at all #HerewardLivingHistory and re-enactment events.
Here Rahenald awaits the arrival of #AbbotTurold of #Peterborough, ready to hand over the treasure that #Hereward stole from #Peterborough Monastery in order to save #Ramsey Abbey its monks & folk from the wrath of the mean abbot after he had heard the treasure had been secretly stashed at the Abbey.
