Burwell

Burwell is a village of many attractions with a history going back to Saxon times. Burwell Museum reflects many aspects of a village on the edge of the Fens up to the middle of the 20th century: a general store, model farm, local industries and children's toys are among the displays. Open 2pm to 5pm Thursday, Sunday and Bank Holiday Mondays Easter to the end of October.

Next to the museum is the famous Stephens Windmill, built in 1820 and extensively restored.

The man who designed parts of King's College Chapel, Reginald Ely, is thought to have been responsible for the beautiful St Mary's Church, which is built of locally quarried clunch stone and is one of the finest examples of the Perpendicular style. Notable internal features include a 15th-century font, a medieval wall painting of St Christopher, and roof carvings of elephants, while in the churchyard, a gravestone marks the terrible night in 1727 when 78 Burwell folk died in a barn fire while watching a travelling Punch & Judy show.

Behind the church are the remains of Burwell Castle, started in the 12th century but never properly completed.

The Devil's Dyke runs through Burwell on its path from Reach to Woodditton. This amazing dyke, 30 yards wide, was built, it is thought, to halt Danish invaders.
