Low Burnham is a small village in the civil parish of Haxey on the Isle of Axholme in the unitary area of North Lincolnshire in Lincolnshire, England. The village is located to the south of the market town of Epworth and the north of the town of Haxey. The village is home to a local attraction known as the Holy Well which is a small spring of water believed to date back to when King Oswald was slain. The well holds importance as a historical landmark due to its location at one of the many battlefields of the Battle of Maserfield in 614 A.D. The village is also home to Lower Burnham Mill and the former Burnham Primitive Methodist Church. The hamlet of High Burnham is to the southeast of the village.

Graizelound is a hamlet in the civil parish of Haxey in North Lincolnshire, England. It is approximately 22 miles (35 km) to the north-west from the city and county town of Lincoln, and centred on the crossroad junction of Haxey Lane, Station Road, Akeferry Road and Ferry Road. The village of Haxey is less than 1 mile (1.6 km) to the north. Owston Ferry on the River Trent is 2.5 miles (4.0 km) to the north-east. Graizelound forms part of the Isle of Axholme. According to A Dictionary of British Place Names, the 'lound' in Graizelound derives from the Old Scandinavian 'lundr' for "a small wood or grove". Graizelound is recorded in the 1086 Domesday Book as "Lund", being a name for both the later East Lound and Graizelound, in the hundred of Epworth and the West Riding of Lindsey. The settlement contained ten households, four villagers, four freemen, two tributaries, 0.6 ploughlands, 3.5 men's plough teams, and a fishery. The lords of the manor in 1066 were Alnoth and Ulf Fenman. Following Domesday, lordship was given to Geoffrey de La Guerche who was also Tenant-in-chief to King William I. Graizelound is recorded in the 1872 White's Directory as a hamlet of Haxey parish with a list of occupations and residents that included thirty farmers, two of whom were also shopkeepers, a joiner & wheelwright, a blacksmith, a shoemaker, and an occupant of a day school. At Cumberworth Lodge lived Thomas Wharton Emerson, and at Sobraon Lodge, Captain William Henry Emerson, who were brothers, and nephews to Sir Wharton Amcotts, 1st Baronet of Kettlethorpe Hall.Cumberworth Lodge on Ferry Road (Main Street), is today a care home, and is a Grade II listed rendered brick building that dates to the mid-18th-century. Further Grade II listed buildings are the 18th-century red brick Lound House on Main Street, and on Graizelound Fields Roads, Manor House, of brown brick built in 1791, and the early 19th-century red brick Croft House.
