Gedney is a village and civil parish in the district of South Holland in Lincolnshire, England, sitting on the edge of the low-lying Lincolnshire Fens close to The Wash and the historic port of Boston. The landscape is characteristically flat and drained, punctuated by sea banks, dykes and drainage channels, and the local economy is dominated by market gardening and arable farming that make use of the fertile fen soils.
The parish has deep historic roots reflected in its medieval church and a scattering of traditional cottages and farmsteads; community life revolves around the village institutions and small hamlets such as Gedney Drove End. Local identity is shaped by the centuries of fenland drainage and sea defence works, together with the reedbeds and wetland birdlife that still mark the edges of this rural, agricultural corner of Lincolnshire.
