Westry is a village in Cambridgeshire, England. [1] It lies to the northwest of March on the A141 to Wisbech.

The Church of St Mary was erected in 1873 to a design by Thomas Henry Wyatt. It is a Grade II listed building. [2] The church was gutted by fire in an arson attack on 15 March 2010 [3] but reopened in 2014 after its insurers paid for a £2.2m renovation. [4]
