Pinchbeck is a substantial fenland village and civil parish in the district of South Holland, Lincolnshire, England, lying a few miles north of Spalding. It sits on low-lying, reclaimed fenland where the landscape is defined by straight drains, dykes and wide arable fields; that flat, fertile terrain has long dictated a local economy based on arable farming and horticulture, with many residents also commuting to nearby market towns.
The village retains a traditional centre with a parish church, village hall, primary school, pubs and a range of community clubs, and its history is closely tied to drainage and land-reclamation projects that shaped the modern fens. As a curious aside, the name Pinchbeck is better known to some through the 18th‑century clockmaker Christopher Pinchbeck, whose surname gave rise to the term for a brass alloy, but locally the place is more defined by its agricultural rhythms and close-knit community life.
