Wisbech St. Mary is a quiet village and civil parish in the rural Fenland district of Cambridgeshire, England, lying just outside the market town of Wisbech. It sits on the characteristically flat landscape of the Fens, with wide skies, a network of drains and dykes and fertile peat and silt soils that reflect centuries of reclamation and engineering.
Locally the economy is shaped by agriculture and horticulture - vegetable and bulb growing remain important, alongside smaller businesses and a commuter contingent to nearby towns. The village retains a strong community feel centred on its parish church and village events, and its history is tied to the broader fenland story of drainage, market trade and rural social life rather than grand urban development.
