Marshland St. James is a small, rural parish in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk in Norfolk, England. It sits on the edge of the Fens, the flat, low-lying reclaimed marshland that is criss-crossed by dykes and drainage channels, giving the area its distinctive wide skies, fertile fields and strong agricultural character.
The settlement is centred on a village cluster and parish church with scattered farms and a handful of historic buildings, reflecting centuries of rural life shaped by drainage and land reclamation. Farming - particularly arable and horticulture - remains the economic backbone, while a small, close-knit community, occasional village events and quiet lanes make it a peaceful spot popular with walkers and birdwatchers.
