Prickwillow is a village in Cambridgeshire, England, with an estimated population of 440.[1] Originally a small hamlet on the banks of the River Great Ouse, it is now on the banks of the River Lark since re-organisation of the river system.[2] It lies in the south of the Fens, 4 miles (6.4 km) east of the city of Ely, and is home to Prickwillow Museum,[3] which tells the story of the changing face of Fenland. Prickwillow Museum is housed in the old pumping station and contains a major collection of working pumping engines. The village is also home to the Ely Group of Internal Drainage Boards.[4]
