Curiously, Vianen lies 25 miles downstream from the main British 'hospital' (so-called) at Rhenen, on the north bank of the Lek-Nederrijn. During the autumn of 1794, the village marked the demarcation line between troops of the Staadhouder's army and the right wing of the allied force under the Duke of York. The mortality rate in the hospital at Rhenen was notoriously high and presumably there are grave pits with bodies stacked in layers waiting to be discovered in the area. The high water table in the Rhine delta made mass burials difficult to manage.
