Bedford, along with 13 fellow investors known as the Gentlemen Adventurers, hired the Dutch engineer Cornelius Vermuyden to work on the project from 1630 to 1655, with time off for civil war." https://britishheritage.com/the-fens-england-below-sea-level-2/ [/quote] The marshlands were quite toxic https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7898959 [i]The marshlands of coastal southern and eastern England had unusually high levels of mortality from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century. The unhealthiness of the environment aroused frequent comment during this period and it was attributed to an endemic disease known as "marsh fever" or "ague".[/i] [/quote]
