Burwell

Discover plantation shutters in Burwell

Plantation shutters provide excellent light and privacy control, adding character and helping transform your space. Adding a layer to your windows also means that shutters help insulate against the cold, keeping your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

Other benefits of our beautiful range of internal shutters are their natural ability to control the natural light coming into a property and even improve privacy, which helps reduce fading of your furniture and fabrics. Optional extras such as motorisation mean you can set your shades on a timer, controlling the light in your home, even when you’re away.

Specifically made-to-measure rather than being cut down, every shutter and we blind we supply is unique and crafted with precision for a broad range of interiors. To ensure high quality every time, we ensure that the best materials are used from sustainable sources, whether hardwood, MDF or waterproof ABS.

We offer one of the broadest ranges of shutters in the UK in various colours, shapes, styles and sizes, making them the perfect solution for any home, whether classic or contemporary.

About Burwell

In the heart of the Cambridgeshire countryside, northwest of Newmarket, the village of Burwell is on the edge of the fenland that surrounds the mighty River Cam that runs through much of the area. Burwell is connected to the river by Burwell Lode, a man-made waterway dug in the 17^th century and provided transport routes to nearby Cambridge and Ely for traders to sell their wares at the market.

Like many place names in Britain, Burwell is very literal, with ‘Bur’ meaning fort in Anglo-Saxon and ‘Well’ being the place of a spring. A naturally occurring water source does exist to the south of the village, and the unfinished 12th-century Burwell Castle was built on the site of a previous defensive structure. Other historical ties include Geoffrey de Mandeville, the 1^st Earl of Essex, who unsuccessfully staged a rebellion against King Stephen using Burwell as his base in the 12^th century.

Set among well-preserved historic farm buildings, the local museum and mill in Burwell help tell the story of the bustling fen-edge village and its long story throughout history. Along with the Victorian mill are displayed from the Burwell life over the ages covering up to the present day.
