A little bit of history….

Burniston appears as Brennigston in Domesday Book. The name means “farmstead of a man named Brýningr” in Old Norse.^[6] The first church was built in 1235, and the first record of a pub was in 1782 when there were three alehouse keepers.

Did you know that Burniston is known for its prehistoric legacy. Dinosaur footprints have been found in the rocks at Burniston.^[4][5]

A record-breaking dinosaur print found on Yorkshire’s coast may have been left by a predator stopping for a rest 166 million years ago. Scientists said the “amazing” metre-long fossil spotted in Burniston Bay, near Scarborough, was the largest ever discovered in the region.

The team who studied the track after it was found in 2021 concluded it was made by giant carnivore like a Megalosaurus.

It is now set to go on display at the town’s Rotunda Museum. BBC News February 2023

A permanent military presence was established in the village with the completion of Burniston Barracks in 1861.^[9]

Burniston held an annual agricultural show from 1888 to 2019

In the mid-1990s, the 17th century blacksmith’s forge, one of the oldest buildings in the village, was demolished for safety reasons.
