Retirement Properties Spotlight in March

March is mentioned as Mercha in Domesday and belonged to the Abbot of Eley. The village once stood on the River Nene but this was diverted to form a straight route from Peterborough to Wisbech.  For many years the village remained little more than a hamlet and only expanded in the 19th century with the coming of the railways. The 15th century Church of St Wendreda is famous for its double hammerbeam roof carved angels.
