The Parish Church of Saint Germain
The Wiggenhall's are a set of villages in West Norfolk straddling the River Great Ouse, between Kings Lynn and Downham Market.
The parish church of St Germain sits on the bank of the River Great Ouse and has a Early English west tower which is heavily buttressed at the base to support its weight in the soft fen land soil, the aisles travel the length of the nave and chancel, there is a 15th century clerestory and a 16th century brick south porch.
The Fenlands of south-east Lincolnshire, west Norfolk and north Cambridgeshire are rich in medieval ecclesiastical architecture, because of this the area is sometimes referred to as the "Holy Land of the English".
