==History==
Burrington is believed to mean 'The villa and an enclosure' from the Old English ''bur'', ''end'' and ''tun''.
Burrington was part of the hundred of Brent-cum-Wrington.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wringtonsomerset.org.uk/history/militia.html )〕
In the 15th century the village was called ''Beryngton'' and was involved in lead mining.
It is very close to Burrington Combe where there is evidence of occupation since Neolithic times, the Bronze Age and Roman periods.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Somerset County Council Archaeological Projects )〕 There is also an Iron Age hillfort known as Burrington Camp.
The 19th century Methodist chapel in Rickford is now a masonic lodge.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=33905 )〕 The gauging house over the brook in the village was also built in the late 19th century,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=33907 )〕 and restored in 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://e-voice.org.uk/rickford/news/gauge-house-2/ )〕
