Marshland St. James is a small village and civil parish in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk in Norfolk, England. It sits in the low-lying fenlands of the county, on reclaimed marshes characterised by drainage ditches and wide, open skies with views across to The Wash, giving the area a distinctly agricultural and flat landscape.
Farming - especially arable and vegetable production on fertile peat and silt soils - remains the economic backbone, while many residents also commute to nearby King's Lynn and other towns. The village retains a close-knit community centred on its church and village hall, and its history is shaped by the large-scale drainage and reclamation schemes that transformed the fens into productive farmland.
