Background
History
Burgh's St. Margaret's and Fleggburgh's names are both of Anglo-Saxon origin. In the Domesday Book, Burgh St. Margaret is listed as a settlement of 63 households in the hundred of West Flegg. In 1086, the village was divided between the East Anglian estates of King William I, Roger Bigod, Bishop William of Thetford and St Benet's Abbey. During the Second World War, several pillboxes and a guardhouse were built across the parish to defend the crossing of the River Bure in the event of a German invasion of Great Britain.
