Dear Webmaster, Greetings from Fort Worth, Texas, USA!

I write to congratulate you on your lavishly illustrated, copiously annotated, and frequently updated website. Your village owes you an enormous debt of gratitude for your tireless efforts to promote Burgh-Le-Marsh online. Please know that your verve and creativity are appreciated as far away as the Lone Star State! On a personal note, I am the fourth-born son of Alan and Joan Middleton, who serve the village as Lord and Lady Mayoress. While I am always delighted to speak with them on the telephone every weekend, I am even more thrilled to see pictures of them on your website. I am fiercely proud of their civic service, as you can no doubt imagine, and I am pleased I have a place -- your site -- where I can see them representing the village. Kind wishes,

Darren J. N. Middleton, Ph.D., (Tue 01/11/2005)

Having a few days holiday in Chapel St Leonard's we decide to see what was around us. We stumbled across Burgh Le Marsh to our great delight . The first sight we saw was the magnificent Windmill, a must to visit. The windmill is beautifully kept and in full working order, the people who lovingly look after it are very helpful and friendly. The tea shop has wonderful home made cakes at a very reasonable cost. All this for a donation well worth it!! Good walks around the village too!

why have the yellow lines not been repainted in front of the drop kerbs in the market square? people in wheelchairs have to use main road to cross market square very dangerous. Joanne (Tue 10/05/2005)

We have really enjoyed our brief stay at the White Hart in your thriving little 'market' town. It has so much interest and places to see, but where and when is your market?. It is a great pity that in such a delightful market place, there is never a market. We do believe that a market day once or twice a week would bring much needed trade to Burgh, but there again, coming from a market town and city area we would say that wouldn't we.
Very many thanks for making us so welcome and we will certainly be returning.

Hi, My name is Dennis Horne. I live in the state of Utah in the United States. I found your town website and have enjoyed looking over the many interesting items and pictures. You have a very quaint and attractive town that I would love to live in.

As a matter of fact, my fourth great-grandfather and his fathers as far back as our family history goes all came from Burgh le Marsh. (Joseph Horne was born in Burgh Le Marsh in 1787 and his father John in 1750--we have traced them back to 1657.) They moved to London in the late 1700s, then on to Ontario Canada and then to the U.S. in the 1840s. But I have great interest in the town where my ancestors lived so long ago and for so many years. I would dearly love to visit some day.

May I ask--are there any Horne's left in Burgh? If so, they might be very distant cousins of mine.

Is there anyone or any group that would be amenable and have the time to answer an occasional emailed question or comment? I would enjoy visiting with someone who knew the history of your town or that could tell me what life is like there--or if there are any Horne's left.

Thanks very much for your time, Dennis gnolaumbooks@MSN.com (Thu 06/01/2005)
