About Burnham Market: https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Burnham_Westgate,_Norfolk_Gene...

BURNHAM-MARKET, or Burnham-Westgate(St. Mary), a parish, in the union of Docking, hundred of Brothercross, W. division of Norfolk, 36½miles (N. W.) from Norwich, and 120 (N. N. E.) from London.

Burnham Westgate St Mary is an Ancient Parish in the diocese of Norwich. St Mary's church as we see it today, dates mainly from the 14th century, the tower having been built in around 1310. The church was extensively restored in the 19th century but has retained its original font.

Burnham Market is a village and civil parish near the north coast of Norfolk, England. Burnham Market is one of the Burnhams, a group of adjacent villages in North Norfolk. It is the result of the merger of three of the original Burnham villages, namely Burnham Sutton, Burnham Ulph and Burnham Westgate.

Burnham Market lies approximately 1 mile (2 km) inland, some 5 miles (8 km) west of Wells-next-the-Sea, 12 miles (19 km) east of Hunstanton and 10 miles (16 km) north of Fakenham. The smaller villages of Burnham Deepdale and Burnham Norton are within 2 miles (3 km) to the west and north of Burnham Market, whilst Burnham Overy and Burnham Thorpe are a similar distance to the east. North Creake is some 4 miles (6 km) to the south. The larger town of King's Lynn is 20 miles (30 km) to the south-west, whilst the city of Norwich is 30 miles (50 km) to the south-east.

For the purposes of local government, the parish falls within the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk.
