Mermaid vase/vessel

‘Play not, my dear boys, near the pond in the meadow, the mermaid is waiting to pull you beneath….’ ( Daniel Cobb)

Cambridgeshire folklore talks of mermaids  that were marooned and unable to escape the fens  after it was drained. The tales went so far as to suggest that some fen folk were descended from these poor creatures.

( maybe where the webbed feet myth came from?)
