The name appears to derive from a Celtic language but in each case, there is a strong early English connection. The English are an ethnic group originating in the lowlands of Great Britain and are descended primarily from the Anglo-Saxons and Scandinavians, with minor influences from the Celts and other groups. ...
The river has two sources, both in the low ridge of Jurassic rocks in the west of the county. Its upper reaches go under the names of East and West Glen but sometimes, the East Glen is called the Eden. This is a back-formation from its passing through the parish of Edenham. The two streams flow onto the sand and gravel of the bed of a former periglacial lake of the Devensian glacial. Here, TF095133, they join, before entering The Fens where the Glen has been embanked and partially straightened. It is navigable for its last 12 miles (19km), from TF156188, its junction with Bourne Eau at Tongue End (map), via Pinchbeck and Surfleet to the tidal entrance sluice on the River Welland at TF280293, navigable only when the tidal level is the same as the river level (map). Originally, a county was the land under the jurisdiction of a count (in Great Britain, an earl, though the original earldoms covered larger areas) by reason of that office. ...

The Glen icrosses the edge of an 'island' of early Flandrian sand and gravel. To the east of the 'island' is post-glacial marine silt. To the West of it was humic, black soil of the former fen. Around the year 200, the silt-land was the site of numerous salt works. The Flandrian interglacial or stage is the name given by geologists and archaeologists in the British Isles to the first, and so far only, stage of the Holocene, covering the period from around 10,000 years ago when the last ice age ended to the present day. ...

This appears to be the mouth of the River Glen, where the Nennius text tells us that Arthur, the war leader of the Britons fought his first battle against the Anglo-Saxons. The Roman road across the fen lies hidden, buried in the botom right. (The straight line across the bottom of the photograph is the course of the old Bourne to Spalding railway.) The north-flowing section of the Glen entered tidal flats at the top centre. The line of the river to the east of centre appears to have originated as a sea bank but when the sea no longer reached it, the river was led away along it so that the sea bank became one of river's banks instead. The section of the A151 road on the 'seaward' side of it was not built until 1822. Nennius, or Nemnivus, is the name of two shadowy personages traditionally associated with the history of Wales. ...
