Gedney is a low‑lying fenland village in the district of South Holland, Lincolnshire, England, sitting close to the reclaimed marshes and salt flats of The Wash. The surrounding landscape is dominated by arable fields and market gardening typical of the South Holland plain, so agriculture and related food processing remain important parts of the local economy while many residents commute to nearby towns such as Boston or Spalding.
The village has a long history as a medieval parish community and is centred around a notable parish church largely dating to the 15th century, with other vernacular farmhouses and cottages hinting at its past. Today Gedney retains a strong village feel with community activities, a village hall and local pubs, and its character is shaped by the interplay of historic buildings, drainage channels and the expansive fenland skies.
