Bluntisham and Earith are two villages about 1 mile apart, close to the River Ouse in Cambridgeshire. Situated on the edge of the fens, the land in this area is low lying and mostly flat.
St Mary’s Church serves both Bluntisham and Earith and parts of it date back to the 13th century. It is an attractive building and has recently undergone extensive restoration. It stands on the edge of Bluntisham, overlooking Bury Fen. The church is kept locked but visitors can obtain a key from the Rectory, which is nearby. St Mary’s has links with the writer Dorothy L. Sayers, whose father was Rector here in the early 20th century; she spent part of her childhood in the village.
