A NAPOLEONIC prisoner of war camp buried under a field in Cambridgeshire has been bought by a trust with the intention of preserving it as a historic site.
-
Norman Cross, the world’s first purpose-built prisoner of war camp, was privately owned by a farmer, and has been bought by Nene Park Trust.
Located near Peterborough, it contains the remains of around 1,770 French, Dutch and German soldiers captured in the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars fought between the French and other European nations.
