Welcome to Wortham and
Burgate |
Welcome to the Wortham & Burgate Parish Council website. As its
name infers the Council represents two parishes. Wortham,
the larger of the two parishes with an electorate of 566, lies some
3 miles west of Diss on the A143 and Burgate, a much smaller
parish with just 128 electors, adjacent to Wortham just south of
the A143.
The most distinctive features in both parishes are the large
grassland commons around which the majority of residential
properties are situated. The villages are well served by
the Dolphin Public House, the Wortham Post Office, Shop
& Cafe, the Honey Pot Camping Caravan Site and an excellent
primary school. The Wortham Village Hall and Burgate Church Hall
both play host to numerous local clubs and organisations.
Meanwhile the modern sports pavilion is home to the Cricket
Club, the Lawn Tennis Club, the Bowls Club and Football
club.

parishes.
