Burgh’s parish church is dedicated to St Botolph, the missionary monk. There has been a church on the site for over a thousand years. Items of note are the massive iron boss with a Sanctuary Ring attached to the inner south door. Just inside the south door is an octagonal Font dating from c1400. Facing the door is a painting of the Birds of the Bible by Anna Zinkeisen. The stained glass was designed and made by Charles Kempe. Some of the carved timberwork, including the angels, date from the early 16th century. The church is open daily and provides a place for quiet contemplation. Visitors at 9.30 am on the third Sunday of the month will receive a friendly welcome.
