Fincham is a small, quietly attractive village in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in rural Norfolk, England. Set on slightly higher ground at the edge of the fenland, it is a patchwork of arable fields, hedgerows and small woodland with easy road links to market towns such as Downham Market and King's Lynn, which provide shops and services for residents.
The village has medieval origins and retains a number of historic buildings and farmsteads, including a parish church with medieval fabric and several listed houses, giving it a strong sense of continuity. Agriculture remains the dominant local economy, while village life centres on the church, hall and pub, with a close-knit community feel and a fair number of commuters who work in nearby towns but value the rural setting.
