More on March, Cambridgeshire
March is located on the banks of the old course of the River Nene. As with many of the towns in the Fenland part of Cambridgeshire, it was an "island" surrounded by marshland which over centuries have been drained.Human habitation in March goes back to the Roman period. The town has been established even before the marshes were drained, so it first existed as an island. It remained a small town for much of its existence. In 1850, it was connected by bridge over the River Nene.
March developed as a trading port since the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. It has a market that continues to thrive today. Originally the market was held on a site near St Wendreda's Church. In the 17th century, King Charles II gave permission for the market to be relocated to a new site, which was since called Market Place.
