62000 The settlement of Tanvats is located about five miles east of Metheringham village, in Metheringham Fen, and may date from around the beginning of the nineteenth century. There is a bridge at Tanvats over Metheringham Delph which was originally a narrow bridge on wooden stilts, which was high enough to allow the passage of crafts underneath it. It was replaced with a suspension bridge, and finally a bridge which blocks the Delph. There were two Methodist Chapels and a school in Tanvats (see 62027, 62028, 62029). {1}{2}{3}{4}
