Burton Fleming is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It lies close to the border with North Yorkshire. The village is situated approximately 7 miles (11 km) north-west of Bridlington and 6 miles (10 km) south of Filey.
Burton Fleming was earlier known as North Burton.[2]
According to the 2011 UK census, Burton Fleming parish had a population of 430,[1] an increase on the 2001 UK census figure of 363.[3]
The village is noted for the house where Queen Henrietta Maria was sent into hiding during the English Civil War.[2] A significant British Iron Age cemetery—Burton Fleming archaeological site—consisting of 64 barrows forming part of the Arras Culture of the East Riding of Yorkshire was excavated here in the 1970s.[4]
The village Grade II* listed Anglican church is dedicated to St Cuthbert.[5] Dating from the 12th century, it previously had a Norman aisle to its nave; the aisle arcades are now evident as part of the exterior wall. The church retains a Norman south doorway and west tower.[6]
The Gypsey Race flows through the village and through other neighbouring villages such as Wold Newton. In 2012 the village suffered serious flooding from the Gypsey Race.[7]
Burton Fleming has a public house, the Burton Arms, and a butcher's shop.
In March 2017, the village declared itself "hedgehog friendly".[8][9]
