Welcome to Burston

Burston is a small village located in the county of Norfolk, England. It is situated approximately 10 miles east of the city of Norwich and is known for its rich history and beautiful countryside. The village is home to a number of historic buildings, including the Burston School Strike Memorial, which commemorates the longest strike in British history.

The Burston School Strike took place in 1914 when two teachers, Tom and Annie Higdon, were dismissed from their positions at the village school. The Higdons were popular with the local community and their dismissal sparked outrage among parents and students. The strike lasted for over 25 years and became a symbol of resistance against injustice and oppression. Today, the Burston School Strike Memorial stands as a testament to the courage and determination of the Higdons and the people of Burston.

In addition to its rich history, Burston is also known for its beautiful countryside and scenic walks. The village is surrounded by rolling hills, lush green fields, and picturesque woodlands, making it a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers. Whether you're looking to explore the village's historic landmarks or simply enjoy the beauty of the Norfolk countryside, Burston is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to the region.
