Governance

Burton is in the parliamentary constituency of Berwick-upon-Tweed. Burton was historically a township in the ancient parish of Bambrough, ^[1] in 1866, the legal definition of 'parish' was changed to be the areas used for administering the poor laws, and so Burton became a civil parish. On 1 April 1955 the civil parish was merged into Bamburgh. ^[2] In 1951 the civil parish had a population of 60. ^[3]
