Burnham Thorpe — Norfolk Village

Generated illustration. Not a historical photograph. A British shore from the water. Not a village exterior and not a likeness.

Overview

The birthplace is already on Nelson Horatio — Biography Overview. Horatio Nelson was born 29 September 1758 at Burnham Thorpe to a Norfolk clergyman.¹

The Birthplace

This note covers that birthplace only. A house, a parish register, and a later memorial stay on RESEARCH_QUEUE.

The same Nelson note already records that his mother died when he was nine, and that he entered the Navy at twelve through his maternal uncle, Captain Maurice Suckling. Those sentences stay there. Crewkerne Grammar School is Hardy’s schooling note, not this village.²
