Burton Salmon: what to know before moving day
The A162 runs through the parish as London Road, and the village lies off it along Main Street, New Lane, Hillam Lane and Ledgate Lane. Newer addresses include Beech Grove, Clarkson Drive, Topstone Close, The Paddock and Trust Fold. The Plough Inn dates from the 17th century, and the village also has a community primary school, a Methodist chapel, a village hall and a war memorial.
The name is older than it sounds: Burton comes from Old English for the farmstead of the Britons, and Salmon was added from Salamone, a man who held land here in the 13th century. The village was recorded as Brettona around 1160. Burton Salmon has five listed buildings, all Grade II: a farmhouse and its farm buildings, two milestones and the war memorial.
