In the 13th Century the quite remarkable St Mary’s Church with its detached bell tower was constructed by the Lewes Priory. The area of the village where The Lewes stands was known as the West Walton Lewes until recently. The Lewes was built in C1785 as a rectory for the church. A second rectory in another part of the village was later created in C1820 for a second minister. The Lewes is a lovely Georgian country house set well back behind electric wrought iron gates almost hidden from the road at the end of a curved high hedge and tree lined driveway. The house stands in around 1.3 acres (STMS) and enjoys plenty of privacy and lovely features such as an original part walled garden, lawn tennis court, topiaries and significant wrap around sandstone and limestone flag patio. There are also several impressive mature trees with preservation orders (none too close to the house).
The Lewes is surprisingly not Listed and has evolved over the years with many historic extensions/alterations.
West Walton is extremely sought after, it has two pubs, butchers & convenience shop, church, bus route, fish & chip shop with Chinese takeaway, nursery, primary and secondary school.
The village has great links to the A47 meaning Wisbech town centre is a only a few minutes drive away with neighbouring town of Kings Lynn about a 20 minute drive away.
