Burgh le Marsh
| The charming town of Burgh
le Marsh has plenty of interest to the visitor, including the Open
Market including the Open Market which was re-established last year (2002), having been originally granted its Market Charter in 1401. The handsome and interesting Church of St Peter and St Paul's can be seen for miles around and the sound of its bells reputedly saved the lives of a ship's crew at a time when the coastline was much closer. The church clock-face warns 'Watch and pray for ye know not when the time is'. |

Another stunning feature on the horizon is Dobson's Mill, built by Sam Oxley in 1813; the view of the five giant sails gently turning in the breeze is truly a magnificent sight. |
