Amber

I have moved Burnham Market more or less unchanged.

I have no strong feelings about the new title Amber in British place names - feel free to move it.
I do have a feeling the article verges into the area of original research. A few references and external links (other than to your own PDF) would reduce the risk of it being denounced as original research.
You need to add category/ies to the article and create links to it from other articles such as Cromer and Humber.

Also:

I do not believe any Burnhams have disappeared under the waves - have you any evidence?
Do you think that Burnham in a place name always indicates amber?

Have a look at this page by David Fincham and search for Brancaster. -- RHaworth 17:47, 2005 Jun 2 (UTC)

Thank you for the comments.

I have placed answers in the relevant discussion pages. I do not think the name Burnham itself justifies the amber trading thesis.

The Burnhams seem to be amber trading towns for the follwoing reasons:

the location of the Burnhams at Brancaster Bay between Cromer and the Humber mouth
the early density of at least five villages with an attribute "burn" in their names, indicating a wealthy area with richess by an unknown source.
the precise four locations of amber trading in Britain in the article: "Das Gold des Nordens", by Karl Jülicher, Periodical Pan, April 1982)
equivalent namegiving systems elsewhere, eg. in Germany (near Hamburg and at the Brennerpass)
