About Wisbech - show infohide info

Wisbech is a town of approximately 20,000 inhabitants in the Fenland region of Cambridgeshire. The town has a population of approximately 20,000 inhabitants. The town lies on the River Nene. A Norman castle to fortify Wisbech was built by William I. The castle became a notorious prison during Tudor times. The castle has been rebuilt twice, once in the mid 17th century, and again in 1816 by Joseph Medworth. The main dwelling in the town is Peckover House, with a walled garden. Peckover house was originally built for the Peckover family, who were a Quaker banking family, who owned the bank which carried their name. Today, the house is owned by the National Trust. In the 17th century, residents of Wisbech were known as the Fen Tigers, as they fiercely resisted the drainage of the Fens. Despite this, the Fens were drained, and Wisbech became a very wealthy port, handling agricultural produce. At the time, Wisbech was on the estuary for the River Ouse, however silting caused the coastline to move north, and so the River Nene was diverted to flow through the town. This is why the name Wisbech means 'Mouth of the [River] Ouse' despite the fact the Ouse no longer flows through the town. Wisbech is today noted for its relatively unspoiled Georgian architecture, and as a result has featured in a number of period dramas. Wisbech lies on the former March - Kings Lynn railway line. Despite the closure, track between March and Wisbech is still in situ, though Wisbech station is long demolished. The line was used for freight until 2000, though since then it has fallen into disrepair. A campaign is underway to try and restore the line and to reconnect Wisbeck to the national rail network. Nearby towns to Wisbec include Kings Lynn, March, Whittlesey, Peterborough, Spalding, Ely, Thetford, Crowland, Downham Market and Swaffham.
