*************

Burnham-on-Crouch is a town in the Maldon District of Essex in the East of England. It lies on the north bank of the River Crouch.^[1] It is one of Britain's leading places to go yachting.^[1]

Historically, it has benefited from its location on the coast - first as a ferry port,^[2] later as a fishing port known for its oyster beds,^[3] and most recently as a centre for yachting.^[2] There are many listed buildings in the town, including the Grade II* listed Royal Corinthian Yacht Club designed in 1931 by the modernist architect Joseph Emberton.^[2] The Mangapps Railway Museum is located nearby.

Although the town has a population of little over 7,500, it is the principal settlement in the wider Dengie peninsula area (population 20,000),^[4] meaning it has facilities that are uncommon in small towns, such as a cinema,^[5] a laundrette, a post office, 22 licensed drinking establishments and three pharmacies.^[6]

Burnham-on-Crouch holds a bi-annual charity fund-raising pub crawl, an event which first took place in June 2007.^[7] Typically more than 100 local people walk through the town in themed fancy dress raising money for The Samaritans. There is both a summer and winter edition of the crawl.

The town has a community magazine based in the town and compiled by Burnham residents. Burnham & Dengie Hundred Review is delivered free to residents in Burnham and the surrounding area.

On the last Saturday of September, the town holds its Illuminated Carnival, which was held for the 100th year in 2008. The carnival takes place in the High Street and Quay with stalls, sideshows and displays, and culminates with a Grand Illuminated Procession in the evening, which leaves from the Clock Tower and proceeds around the town.^[8]

The Essex town was mentioned in the song ""Billericay Dickie"", by Ian Dury. This song alludes to Burnham's somewhat upmarket status in the county.
