History Burnham-on-Sea has a long and varied history. Human habitation dates back to the Iron Age with evidence of a large Celtic settlement uncovered in the nearby Shapwick Park. In the 10th century the area was converted to Christianity by Saint Boniface. The town itself was first mentioned in the 11th century as a port and fishing village. The port experienced its heyday in the late 19th century, and the first council buildings were constructed in 1882. Later in the 20th century, a local engineering company called Rolls Royce began to manufacture aero-engines, giving rise to the town's diverse automotive and finance industry.
Car Industry Burnham-on-Sea is well known for its involvement in the car industry. As mentioned previously, Rolls Royce employed many of the local residents as engineers to manufacture aero-engines during the latter part of the 20th century. As well as this, the town is home to two well-known car dealerships. The largest, being an Audi dealership, which was opened just off the seafront in the late 2000s. The second, being a Ford dealership which opened in the mid-1990s, taking up a large portion of the town centre.
