EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE PARISH #160 of 172: BURTON FLEMING
Burton Fleming - “Fleming’s Fort”
In the East Riding this week we come to Burton Fleming, another village located in the Great Wold Valley, on the banks of the Gypsey Race stream. This one really is full of hidden gems! The one that everyone should know about here is the Manor House, the property to which Queen Henrietta Maria - the former wife of Charles I - was sent during the English Civil War.
Since the 14th century Burton Fleming also had the alternative name of North Burton. It has yet to be determined where the latter name came from but over the years became a very popular alternative name for the village. Indeed, it was only at the insistence of Scarborough General Post Office in the late 1920s that Burton Fleming became the official and only name for the place.
Burton has been a goldmine for historians for centuries. It has lots buried under the ground which has peaked the interest of archaeologists before now. Today its a large sprawling village which contains a great variety of small houses and cottages in an area that still revolves around agriculture on the Wolds. Change has taken place here for sure, but its traditions and legends still remain. An open village that has evolved over the years and will continue to do so in the future.
Let’s have a walk around it and see what life’s like here in 2024.
