History

Wisbech St.Mary was the least nucleated of all the Isle parishes. Other villages include Murrow, Guyhirn and Thorney Toll.

The Peterborough-Sutton bridge branch of the former M. & G.N joint railway, opened in 1866, has stations in the parish at Murrow(East) & Wisbech St.Mary. The March-Spalding line opened in 1867 had stations at Murrow(West’s) and Guyhirn.

The Pepys family farmed a manor in the parish. It was leased to Samuel Pepys in 1639 for 21 years.[2]

A mission chapel was built at Thomolas Drove and Primitive Methodist chapels in the village and Tholomas Drove.

The village has an Anglican church, a primary school and some public houses.

[3]

The village is built on an old watercourse, a roddon; such sand and silt beds are firmer and rise higher than the surrounding shrinking peat fens.{{Sfn|Hall|1996|p=171}}
