Wiggenhall St Mary Magdalen is a small, low-lying rural parish in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, England. Set in the reclaimed Fens close to the River Great Ouse, the landscape is characterised by wide skies, flat arable fields, pasture and a scattering of historic farmsteads born of centuries of drainage and flood management.
Historically it grew up around its church dedicated to St Mary Magdalen and the local economy remains dominated by agriculture and water-management works tied to the fenland reclamation. The parish has a quiet, close-knit feel, with social life often revolving around farming and the church, and it attracts walkers and birdwatchers who appreciate the tranquillity and wetland wildlife, while nearby King's Lynn provides markets and services.
