The village has a population of around 500 people and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village has a rich history, with evidence of Roman occupation in the area.

One of the main attractions in North Witham is the RAF North Witham airfield. During World War II, the airfield was used by the United States Army Air Forces as a base for their bombers.

The church is still in use today and holds regular services. The village also has a primary school, a pub, and a village hall, which hosts a range of events throughout the year. Overall, North Witham is a charming village with a rich history and plenty of attractions for visitors to enjoy.
