Welcome to Wisbech Society’s Website
Founded in 1939, Wisbech Society and Preservation Trust is working harder than ever to safeguard the history and heritage of Wisbech, Capital of the Fens and Birthplace to Octavia Hill and Thomas Clarkson.
The town’s history has positively contributed to our modern society, having been the birthplace of the man who abolished the Slave Trade and the woman who founded the National Trust.

Membership is open to all!
The annual fee not only helps fund the Society’s many and varied activities, but also allows access to a programme of fascinating winter lectures and a series of exclusive trips in the spring and summer months.
The Society publishes an Annual Review distributed free of charge to members outlining its activities, together with interesting articles and photographs connected to the town.
The preservation of the town’s stunning architecture is always very high on the Society’s agenda and Fenland District Council consults the Society on planning matters affecting the town’s listed buildings and conservation areas.
The Society also has a programme of talks and presentations on a variety of subjects, and events during the year.
We welcome visitors, new members and those interested in becoming trustees. Please come along and find out for yourself.
We love our town and hope you will, too.
