East Anglia
|
|
Low-lying area of eastern England between the Wash in the north and the Thames estuary in the south, loosely defined but including the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk and parts of Cambridgeshire and Essex. The flat watery landscape of the *Fens and the *Norfolk Broads, with vast expanses of sky, has inspired many English painters and in particular *Constable. East Anglia was one of the seven *Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, but was overrun by the Danes in the 9C.
