Burnham Westgate Hall

Burnham Market is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. It is 19 miles (31 km) north-east of King's Lynn and 32 miles (51 km) north-west of Norwich. It is one of the Norfolk Burnhams. Three settlements, Burnham Sutton, Burnham Ulph, and Burnham Westgate merged to form Burnham Market. In 2020 it was rated among the "20 most beautiful villages in the UK and Ireland" by Condé Nast Traveler.

Burnham Market (originally Burnham) was a railway station which served the village of Burnham Market, Norfolk, England. Opened by the West Norfolk Junction railway in 1866, it closed with the line in 1952.

St Margaret's Church is a round-tower church in Burnham Norton, Norfolk, England. Likely to have been built in the 11th century, the building retains many medieval architectural features, and is Grade I listed. It also retains an elaborately decorated 15th-century pulpit, considered one of the finest surviving examples of its type.

Burnham Norton Friary was a Carmelite (White Friars) friary near Burnham Market in Norfolk, England. It is now a ruin. The friary was founded by Sir William Calthorp and Sir Ralph Hemenhale in 1241, the first Carmelite monastery to be founded following the expulsion of the order from Mount Carmel in Sinai in 1238. The theologian monk Robert Bale was prior of Burnham Norton for a time until his death in 1503. The friary was closed down in 1538, when occupied by only four poor monks, as part of the Dissolution of the Monasteries under King Henry VIII and passed undamaged into the ownership of Sir Richard Gresham. The grade I listed ruined gatehouse; the adjacent grade II* listed free-standing gable end of an unknown building remain; the almost intact precinct wall and the church still remain. The free-standing gable end’s closeness to the gatehouse suggests it was not part of the friary church.

The River Burn (also known as "Nelsons River") is a river in the northwest of the County of Norfolk, in the East of England. From its source to its mouth on the North Coast of Norfolk it is 12.3 kilometres (7.6 mi). The river has a fall of 36 metres to the sea.

The Norfolk Burnhams are a group of adjacent villages on the north coast of Norfolk, England. The villages are located near a large natural bay named Brancaster Bay and the Scolt Head Island National Nature Reserve. A medieval verse speaks of "London York and Coventry and the Seven Burnhams by the sea". The Domesday Book of 1086 also mentions some of the Burnhams (see external links). At one time there were indeed seven Burnham villages, all within a radius of two miles. These were: Burnham Deepdale Burnham Norton Burnham Overy Burnham Sutton Burnham Thorpe Burnham Ulph Burnham Westgate Hence the mnemonic for the seven Burnhams: Nelson Of Thorpe Died Well Under Sail. It is thought that Burnham Market is one of the original seven Burnhams, but this is incorrect. Burnham Market is a modern merging of three Burnhams: Burnham Sutton, Burnham Westgate and Burnham Ulph. Over the years those three central villages have merged to form the larger village and civil parish of Burnham Market, which forms the principal centre for the Burnhams and several other nearby villages. The most westerly of the villages, Burnham Deepdale, has more or less merged with the neighbouring village of Brancaster Staithe, and both are now part of the civil parish of Brancaster. Burnham Norton and Burnham Thorpe still exist as separate villages and civil parishes, much as they always have. Burnham Overy is still a single civil parish, but in modern times a distinction is often made between the two settlements of Burnham Overy Town (actually a small settlement adjacent to the parish church) and Burnham Overy Staithe (a rather larger settlement about a mile away and next to the creek-side harbour). The Burnhams are all located either on the River Burn, or adjacent to its mouth, and the name Burnham may derive from this. Burnhamthorpe Road in Toronto and Mississauga, Ontario, Canada was named after Burnham Thorpe.

Burnham Overy Staithe Windmill is a Grade II* listed building tower mill at Burnham Overy Staithe, Norfolk, England which has been converted to holiday accommodation.

Burnham Overy is a civil parish on the north coast of Norfolk, England. The parish includes the settlements of Burnham Overy Town, the original village adjacent to the medieval parish church and now reduced to a handful of houses, and Burnham Overy Staithe, a larger settlement about 1⁄2 mile (0.80 km) to the north on the estuary of the River Burn. It is 1 mile (1.6 km) north-west of Burnham Market, 20 miles (32 km) north-east of King's Lynn, and 30 miles (48 km) north-west of Norwich. The A149 road runs through the parish. The civil parish has an area of 8.92 square kilometres (3.44 sq mi) and at the 2001 census had a population of 311 in 167 households, reducing to a population of 134 at the 2011 Census. For the purposes of local government, the parish falls within the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk. At the 2021 census the parish had a population of 297.

Burnham Thorpe is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. It is 19 miles (31 km) north-east of King's Lynn and 31 miles (50 km) north-west of Norwich and is one of the seven Norfolk Burnhams. At the 2021 census the population of the parish was 131, a slight decrease from 144 at the 2011 census. The village is notable for being the birthplace of Admiral Horatio Nelson, victor at the Battle of Trafalgar and one of Britain's greatest heroes. At the time of his birth, Nelson's father, Edmund Nelson, was rector of the church in Burnham Thorpe.

St Mary's Church is a round-tower church in Burnham Deepdale, Norfolk, England. Its round tower and some other parts of the building date from the 11th century. The church underwent additions and rebuilding in the medieval period. It fell into disrepair by the early 18th century, and much of the current building's appearance dates from an 1870 renovation by Frederick Preedy. The church is famed for its many 14th- and 15th-century medieval stained glass windows, and for its Norman font depicting the Labours of the Months.

Creake Abbey is a ruined abbey in Norfolk, England, situated alongside the River Burn and a mile to the north of the village of North Creake. The abbey church was dedicated to Saint Mary. The ruins are Grade I listed, and form part of a Scheduled Monument site.
