Flower Delivery to Burnham with Clare Florist

Lying north of the River Thames in the South Bucks District of Buckinghamshire is Burnham . It was once an important village with the road from London to Bath – which is now the A4 – passed through the parish. As a result, the village received a Royal charter to hold a market and annual fair. The road was diverted away from Burnham when the bridge crossing the Thames in Maidenhead opened.

Lovers of the outdoors will enjoy Burnham Beeches, which is located close by – just north of the village. Burnham Beeches is a protected ancient woodland that covers and area of 540 acres. It is a site of Special Scientific Interest, along with Stoke Common. Burnham Beeches is also a National Nature Reserve and a Special Area of Conservation.

HISTORY

A Benedictine abbey was founded near the village by Richard, King of the Romans, in 1265. However, this was disbanded by King Henry VIII in the Dissolution of the Monasteries. A contemplative order of Church of England Augustinian nuns have been based in the restored remains of the original abbey since 1916.

The village has a Church of England parish church, St Peter. It dates back to the 12th century and has since been expanded, refurbished and altered. Major restorations were done in 1863-64 and 1891. The Cornerstone Centre was constructed in 1986.
