Recording: Imagined Coasts – The Medieval Port of Burnham

Jonathan Hooton gave a lecture on Imagined Coasts – The Medieval Port of Burnham to the BAHS via Zoom on 29th September 2020. Jonathan has kindly allowed the BAHS to make the recording available below.

The description of Jonathan’s lecture is:

  • As a result of being invited to join the imagined Land Project on Burnham Norton Friary I became involved in examining how the north Norfolk coast had changed over the last millennium and how that affected  the development of the ports, in particular the port of Burnham.
  • This talk is based on the results of that work.  It is really in two parts the first part looks at how the north Norfolk coast has changed and secondly looking at the development and decline of the port of Burnham.

The recording is in two parts :
