Burgh Le Marsh

Burgh-le-Marsh is a town and electoral ward to the west of Skegness in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. GeographyThe town is built on a low hill surrounded by former marsh land, and the marsh influenced the town's name, Burgh Le Marsh. Both the village windmill and church are visible from far distances. The A158 used to run through from west to east but this was rerouted when a new bypass opened in late 2007, having started in September 2006, and has reduced traffic congestion dramatically. A Roman road passes through the town on the way to Skegness, and comes from the north-west via Tetford and Ulceby. The town is on the site of a former Roman fort. Saxon burial moundNear the parish church is a large mound, where Saxon burial remains were found during the 1930s. There is a dip in the top of the mound, it is suggested that it was used for cockfighting, and to this day it is known as Cock Hill. AmenitiesThere is a traditional butcher, baker and convenience shops. There is also a fishmonger, a post office, a Chinese takeaway, a fish and chip shop, a library, a supermarket, an estate agent and a florist.
