Christchurch is a small village in the low-lying Fenland district of Cambridgeshire, England. It sits in the characteristic flat, drained landscape of the Fens with ditches and drains defining the patchwork of arable fields and horticultural plots; the village is within easy reach of the larger market towns of Wisbech and March.
Historically the settlement grew around its parish church and the wider story of fen drainage and reclamation, and today the local economy still centres on farming and horticulture alongside some commuting to nearby towns. Socially it retains a close-knit village feel with community activities and a quiet rural character that reflects the region’s agricultural heritage.
