Burnham Overy Town sits between Burnham Overy Staithe and Burnham Market and is just a short distance to both of these incredibly popular villages with all the amenities they offer however the beauty of this village is that it is also far enough away to remain peaceful even at the busiest times of the year so it really is an idyllic location.
BURNHAM OVERY TOWN Burnham Overy Town is between Burnham Market, half a mile to the west, and Holkham, three miles to the east, Burnham Thorpe, the birthplace of Nelson, is a mile to the southeast. King's Lynn is 20 miles away with mainline access to Cambridge and London and Norwich is 30 miles away with its international gateway via Schiphol. Historically Burnham Overy had been the port for the surrounding villages of the Burnhams. Both Overy Town and Overy Staithe lie on the River Burn, and until the end of the Middle Ages trading ships were able to reach the village of Burnham Overy Town. Whenever a ship arrived a gong would be sounded at the top of Gong Lane, to alert the farm workers to unload the incoming goods. Perhaps the town's most famous resident was Richard Woodget. He first went to sea in coasters plying the waters off the east coast of England. In 1885 he was appointed captain of the Cutty Sark. He made several record breaking journeys between the UK and Australia. The village has a fine church originally built in the 13th century. There are no shops but Burnham Market is on the doorstep.
