St.Peter’s Church

The Church of St Peter sits in March, a fenland town that doesn't immediately scream 'must-see', but the building itself tells a different story. What strikes you first is the sheer scale of it - a proper medieval parish church that towers over the surrounding flatlands with a confidence that feels almost out of place in such quietly rural surroundings. The interior is worth your time if you're into ecclesiastical architecture; there's good perpendicular work here, the sort of thing that rewards a slow wander rather than a quick tick-off.

It's not a destination in itself, really. Rather, it's the kind of stop that makes sense if you're already exploring the fenland around March, especially if you're based at one of the nearby caravan parks. Fenland Camping and Caravan Park sits barely two miles away, and Knightsbridge Caravan and Marina Park just three and a half, so a morning visit slots neatly into a broader day out. Families with older kids who've got some patience for churches might get something from it; historians and architecture enthusiasts will find it properly rewarding.

Admission details aren't widely advertised - you'll likely find it open during daylight hours, as most parish churches are, but it's worth checking locally when you arrive. Allow thirty minutes to an hour, depending on how much the stonework speaks to you. It's a humble sort of place, not showy, but there's something genuine about that. The fenland landscape itself, flat and vast, is part of the appeal - it gives you real context for why a church this ambitious mattered so much to medieval communities out here.
