Owner's Description

Superb new development of 39 homes with country views, yet close to town and all its amenities, with plots available for homes up to 40'.

Wisbech is located in the County of Cambridgeshire in the East of England and was once a busy port town in medieval times. The town first flourished with prosperity when the draining of the Fens took place in the 17th Century. It has continued to flourish and today there are approximately 5,000 acres of fruit and growing lands in the areas surrounding Wisbech. There is still today, a twice-weekly market selling local produce.

The town is home to one of the oldest family breweries in the UK, Elgoods, who have brewed ales here for over 200 hundred years.

There are also many historic buildings in the town and many of our residents are very proud to be associated with such history.

Two of the town’s most famous people are Thomas Clarkson and Octavia Hill, who dedicated their lives to helping others.

Thomas Clarkson was born in Wisbech in the early 19th century and he devoted his time to fighting for an end to the African Slave Trade. He was a leader of the Abolitionist Movement and although he never personally managed to enforce a bill against such slavery, he is still very much credited for his role in initially bringing about the Emancipation Bill (1833).

Octavia Hill was also born in Wisbech, in 1838. She was one of the co-founders of the National Trust. She was also recognised for her work concerning the Housing Reform. Both these people are well remembered in the town through a memorial and museum.
