In 1934, the village which is situated on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds in the East Riding of Yorkshire, about 3 miles west of the market town of Beverley was described by a renowned architect as one of the 15 fairest villages in the land, and with its trademark black and white houses, village greens and attractive pond it is not hard to see why images of the village continue to figure in many books and calendars.

The village can be traced back to prehistoric times since traces left from the Mesolithic, Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age and RomanoBritish eras provide evidence for human activity in Bishop Burton for at least 10,000 years. The Domesday Book mentions that the village once belonged to the Archbishop of York, which explains the origins of the name.

The tower of the All Saints Church was erected in about 1240 but a church probably existed on the site from the early 8th century. The church contains a wooden bust of John Wesley carved by James Elwell of Beverley; Wesley preached several times in the village and his bust was originally located in the Wesleyan chapel built in 1840 which still survives today.

A conservation report defining Bishop Burton's special interest states; 'The special character of the Bishop Burton Conservation area is to be found in the survival of this former estate village, whose predominantly white painted cottages are grouped around its two greens and Mere. It nestles in a hollow in the terrain which, with impressive tree cover, on its edges, adds to a feeling of enclosure. It has some strong characteristics, including the importance of its open spaces and its disciplined architecture, where features such as the use of whitepainted brickwork, short chimneys, rustic porches and gabled dormers all feature strongly. In the summer, the importance of the trees on its greens and the visually cooling effect of its water create a balance to which other villages can only aspire.'
