THE BURGH LE MARSH GROUP OF PARISHES.

The Burgh Group of parishes consists of 6 communities centred around Burgh-le-Marsh. Burgh is the largest community with just over 2000 people, while Gunby is the smallest with a population of just 27! The other four villages, Bratoft, Irby in the Marsh, Orby & Welton le Marsh vary from between 120- 250 people in each.

 

It was in 1970 that the six parishes were put together with the parish priest living at Burgh.

The present Rector of the Group is:

Canon, Father Terry Steele,

The Rectory,

Glebe Rise,

All six churches have their churchyards still open, and many of our registers of baptisms, marriages and burials go back to the 16 th century, but these registers are now kept in the archives at Lincoln . Their address is:
