Peter Morice (original) (raw)

Peter Morice (died 1588; - also sometimes spelt Morrys, Morris or Maurice) was a Dutch-born (some accounts describe him as a German) engineer who developed one of the first pumped water supply systems for the City of London. In London, his first pumps were powered by an undershot waterwheel housed in the northernmost arches of London Bridge, spanning the tidal River Thames.
