Wainfleet St. Mary is a small, rural village and civil parish in East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, in the low-lying fenlands close to the coast and the saline creeks of The Wash. It sits alongside the historic market town of Wainfleet All Saints and near the River Steeping, so the landscape is characterised by flat, reclaimed agricultural land, drainage channels and sea defences rather than dramatic topography.
The village has a quiet, community-led feel with a medieval parish church and a history tied to fenland drainage, small-scale trade and the former minor port activity of nearby Wainfleet. Today the local economy is largely agricultural, with some residents commuting to nearby coastal resorts such as Skegness or to larger towns, while village life centres on church and community activities rather than tourism.
