About

The Tilney, Mershe Lande & Wiggenhall ward encompasses a primarily rural area of West Norfolk, characterised by agricultural land and settlements along the River Great Ouse. The ward includes the villages of Tilney All Saints, Tilney St. Lawrence, and the three Wiggenhalls. The landscape is defined by flat, drained fenland, with a network of drainage channels and riverside paths. Economic activity has historically been linked to the land and the water.

The area is notable for its medieval churches, such as St. Mary Magdalene in Wiggenhall St. Mary the Virgin, which contains unique, intricate 15th-century wooden carvings. Communities here are shaped by their relationship with the river, which remains a focus for both recreation and flood management. The ward functions as a collection of separate villages rather than a single urban centre, with local governance centred in King's Lynn.
