Parish History
Burnham All Saints The parish of Burnham Ulph (amalgamated with Burnham Sutton) is one of a group of villages and hamlets known collectively as "The Burnhams" and Burnham Ulph today actually forms the eastern part of what is now the town of Burnham Market. All Saints' church is situated amidst houses and cottages. The church has no tower and its bellcote is believed to date from the 12th century. The building was repaired by using some of the materials of the demolished St Ethelbert's church which is situated a short distance further to the south. There has been an extensive Victorian renovation but some of the church's original features such as the medieval font have survived.

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.
