Burringham is a large village on the Trent , in Bottesford Parish, 5 miles E.S.E. of Crowle, where there is a ferry connecting the road from Brigg to Doncaster. It had 624 souls in 1841, and has in its township 1450 acres of freehold land, a great part of which was a low swampy moor, which has recently been improved by warping on it the silty deposits of the Trent. Henry Healey, Esq., of Decoy Cottage, is the lord of manor, lessee impropriator, and owner of most of the soil; but the Rev. S. Hall and several smaller owners have estates here. the yearly moduses are, £224 in lieu of the rectorial, and £112 in lieu of the vicarial tithes. The foundations of a building, supposed to have been a chapel, were dug up here about seven years ago. Here is a Wesleyan, and also a Primitive Methodist Chapel.
