Reverend Edmund Nelson (1722–1802) was Rector of Hillborough and of Burnham Thorpe in that county.
When a post office opened in 1862, a post office conflict with Sandhill in Chinguacousy Township, Ontario occurred, so it was renamed Burnhamthorpe Village at the suggestion of John Abelson who hailed from Burnham Thorpe, England.
