Tilney St Lawrence is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in Norfolk, England. Set in the flat, drained landscape of The Fens not far from The Wash, it lies a few miles east of King's Lynn and is surrounded by arable fields, dykes and wide skies that support a notable mix of farmland and wetland birdlife.
The parish has medieval roots and retains a traditional village feel, with a parish church and scattered farmsteads reflecting its long agricultural history. Farming dominates the local economy and many residents commute to nearby market towns; the history of fen drainage and reclamation has shaped both the landscape and community, and village life is often centred on the church, village hall and local events that keep the social fabric close-knit.
