B is no problem! First the many variations of Bawburgh's own name. Known in the Domesday Book as Bauenburc, its many variants condensed to Babur or Baber early in the 20th Century. With Burg being fortified house or manor, the prefix Baw may mean Beau - Beautiful - or a personal name.

A telegraph pole had arrived, when this postcard was printed - probably during the 1930s. But shows little change from today!
We have a Bridge which is 17th Century, and listed by English Heritage. We have quaint cottages, Bridgefoot and Bridgefoot Cottage standing guard over the Bridge. And of course our famous and rare Black Poplar tree - see Bawburgh The Village page for current photographs of the cottages and the tree, which sadly fell on the night of 5th September, 2001 - see below when there were three.

When this was taken around 1930 there were three Black Poplars, and the river was rather overgrown! The green was used to hang washing by the Blacksmith's wife. The Mill is seen left, the Kings Head and Blacksmiths, right.
