     Burwood Family


If your name is Burwood, the chances are that your ancestors came from the manor of Burwood in Norfolk.

The land at Burwood was (like much of Ludham) a holding of the monks at St Benet's Abbey, but the problem has been in finding exactly where Burwood is as it has vanished from the modern maps.
