A small village in the rural far north of Herefordshire, Burrington dates back to when the manor was held by Eadric the Wild. There are various legends surrounding Eadric, who led the English resistance against the Norman Conquest.

The village's church, St George, contains probably the most refined collection of 17th and 18th-century cast iron grave slabs in the England.

St. George, Burrington. A mostly Victorian rebuilt church of 1864, with a spire. It is in a very pretty setting. At the east end are eight cast iron grave slabs dating from the early 17th century. They are rare examples of early ironwork. They were made during the period when iron was worked at Downton Gorge.
