Vacancy for two Parish Councillors
There are vacancies for two Parish Councillors on the Burgh and Tuttington Parish Council. Although most Parish Councils – like ours – are small, they play an important role in our democracy, and they work best with a full complement of members. The only qualifications you need are residence in this or an adjacent civil parish and an interest in helping your community. For details on the vacancies please contact the Parish Clerk.
Aylsham Healthy Town Initiative
Aylsham Town Council’s new initiative is designed to help residents of the town and surrounding villages to more easily access the services and support they need to live long, healthy lives. This initiative is being supported by the local GP surgeries, district council, local charities and businesses involved in the provision of healthcare and allied services.
If you are planning an event on Tuttington Village Green or simply want to while away an afternoon, please go here for more information.
If you are interested in biodiversity in the parish, have a look at the Parish Council’s Policy on Biodiversity, or you are interested in doing something practical to encourage diversity locally, follow this link.
The Parish Council has been awarded a small grant under the District Council’s ‘Clean up and Bloom’ initiative. This is for financial contributions towards small projects to enhance community life by enabling a general tidy-up including litter-picking, and to develop or enhance floral displays and improve the look of community spaces. If you have a project in mind and wish to apply for a small grant, submit an application to the Parish Clerk by 30th April 2024 (to be considered at the next Parish Council meeting) including a description of your project, how it will enhance your community, the amount of funding requested with details, and the community group involved.
About our Parish
The civil parish of Burgh and Tuttington in Norfolk lies to the east of Aylsham, to the south of Colby, to the north of Brampton and to the west of Skeyton. The two villages in the parish, Burgh-next-Aylsham and Tuttington are just over one mile apart; both sit within the area administered by Broadland District Council.
The known history of the villages begins with a number of Neolithic Archaeological sites and a wealth of Bronze Age material. There also exists Iron Age, Roman and Saxon evidence in the Parish.
The two parishes of Burgh-next-Aylsham and Tuttington were originally separate, with St Marys church sitting by the River Bure and serving Burgh; St Peter and St Paul church on the old main Norwich to Cromer road for Tuttington. Now, St Marys in Burgh is part of the Aylsham and District benefice while Tuttington is part of the Kings Beck benefice.
Burgh has its own village hall known as the Reading Room which is situated beside the church. Tuttington has a small village green which is used for the social events. Both are now peaceful villages that hold their own community events such as fetes, commemorations and open garden days.
