Low Burnham is a small village[1] [2] in the civil parish of Haxey on the Isle of Axholme in the unitary area of North Lincolnshire in Lincolnshire, England.[3] [4] The village is located to the south of the market town of Epworth and the north of the town of Haxey. The village is home to a local attraction known as the Holy Well which is a small spring of water believed to date back to when King Oswald was slain. The well holds importance as a historical landmark due to its location at one of the many battlefields of the Battle of Maserfield in 614 A.D.[5] [6] The village is also home to Lower Burnham Mill and the former Burnham Primitive Methodist Church.[7] The hamlet of High Burnham is to the southeast of the village.
