The
Village is in the valley of the Gypsey Race to the North of the
Wolds and is built around the crossroads in the centre of the
village. On one side of the junction is the Butchers shop and "Black
Jack" a cast iron water pump which has two handles and a
wooden case, sadly no longer used to draw water, on the other side
is The Burton Arms Public House.
Burton
Fleming has its own war memorial near to the Church of St
Cuthberts which dates back to Norman times. There is also a
Methodist chapel and a brick built Community Hall.
Houses
with names like Spring Cottage keep the theme alive of the village
built in the valley of the Gypsey Race spring.
