3 unusual facts about Terrington St Clement


Terrington St Clement

The magnificent Parish Church, dedicated to St Clement (i.e. Pope Clement I), known as the "Cathedral of the Marshland", was built in the 14th century by Edmund Gonville, Rector of Terrington, who founded Gonville Hall (now Gonville and Caius College) at Cambridge University.

It is situated in the drained marshlands to the south of The Wash, 7 miles west of King's Lynn, Norfolk, and 5 miles east of Sutton Bridge, Lincolnshire, on the old route of the A17 trunk road.

The village is linked to King's Lynn and Spalding, Lincolnshire, by a half-hourly bus service, and to Wisbech by a less frequent bus service that skirts the south of the village.
