Burnham Market

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's name is of Anglo-Saxon origin, although the village is not listed in the Domesday Book.

In 1952, the West Norfolk Junction Railway, which ran through the village, was closed. This railway had linked with Holkham, Wells-next-the-Sea, Hunstanton and Kings Lynn. The station still stands on the road to North Creake.

Burnham Westgate Hall is a Grade II listed country house built in the 1780s by Sir John Soane for Thomas Pitt, 1st Baron Camelford. The Hall was built on the existing Polstede Hall, which had been built in the 1750s by Matthew Brettingham for Pinckney Wilkinson MP. In 1933, the Hall passed to the Royal British Legion and after the Second World War it was used as an old people's home. From 1990 onwards, it has become the private residence of Patricia Rawlings, Baroness Rawlings.

At the 2011 census, Burnham Market had a population of 877, which fell to 724 people by the 2021 census.

Burnham Market is located at the junction between the B1155, between Great Bircham and Holkham, and B1355, between A148 and A149.

Burnham Market is home to several churches.
