Fen skating, a traditional form of ice skating in Fenland, originates from medieval England. By the 19th century, it had become a popular winter sport and drew large crowds of spectators - legendary skaters like Larman Register and William 'Turkey' Smart among the most notable champions. It's a Fenland pastime we don't see as much of nowadays, although a good number of skaters do still take to the ice (when conditions allow). | Fenland on Film
