Wiggenhall St Germans is one of a group of four parishes in West Norfolk. It lies south of King's Lynn alongside the River Ouse which runs through the centre of the current village. The village sits at the end of the Bedford Middle Drain which crosses the greater part of the Fens before passing through huge sluices into the Ouse. The area is still largely devoted to agriculture exploiting the Fenland peaty richness.
St Germans church sits adjacent to the Ouse, the Perpendicular structure makes extensive use of West Norfolk carstone and dates largely from the 14th Century with extensive renovations and restorations from later centuries.
