Burton, Dorset
Burton is a village in the civil parish of Burton and Winkton in the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole district of Dorset, England. The village is elevated above the Avon Valley on a gravel plateau. Much of the village was built in the 1970s, and today the population is around 4,000. The toponymy of Burton suggests an Anglo-Saxon settlement but the first record of the name appears in twelfth-century records. It is thought that this is because it has always been viewed as an extension of Christchurch. There is evidence of human habitation there as far back as the Mesolithic, and the oldest existing parts date back to at least the early 18th century. There are a number of listed buildings in the village including the parish church of St Luke, built in 1874-75 and designed by Benjamin Ferrey, and Burton Hall, a large 18th-century residence with grade II* status. Burton was home of the poet and writer Robert Southey between 1799 and 1805, and he wrote his well known fairytale, ...

Burton, Nettleton
Burton is a small village in the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Wiltshire, England. Kelly's 1915 ''Directory of Wiltshire'' identifies Burton as the most important part of the parish of Nettleton. It is about west of Chippenham. History There is a record of Burton dating back to AD 1204, and more recently in Book 44 – Wiltshire, of the ''Topographical Collections'' of John Aubrey, 1659–70. Causeway An evaluation excavation in 2005 confirmed the presence of a causeway next to the top (east–west) section of Church Hill, comprising several phases of stone surfacing approximately 2.6m wide, built on to a 4m wide bank of redeposited natural clay. Although limited dating evidence was recovered, the causeway appears to have been in use by the 17th century, and may well be medieval in origin. The causeway seems likely to have been used until the construction of a dry-stone wall along its centre line in the 19th or 20th century. A possible early road surfac ...
