BURRINGTON, a parish in the hundred of BRENT-with-WRINGTON, county of SOMERSET, 65 miles (N.E.) from Axbridge, containing 559 inhabitants. The living is a perpetual curacy, in the archdeaconry of Bath, and diocese of Bath and Wells, and in the patronage of the inhabitants, subject to the approval of the Sector of Wrington. The church, dedicated to the Holy Trinity, contains some fine screen-work. The village is romantically situated on the northern side of the Mendip range of hills. An ancient catacomb was discovered in 1795, containing about fifty skeletons lying in a great quantity of black mould, some of the bones being coated with stalagmik; -and there is a cave of a similar descrip tion about a mile distant: they are supposed by Dr. Buckland to have been places of common sepulture in early times, and the circumstance of flint knives and other relics of antiquity having been found among the skeletons, corroborates the opinion of the learned professor. There is also another capacious cavern in the parish, which, owing to its intricacy, has been but little explored.
