Burlingham St. Andrew and Burlingham St. Peter are together also known as North Burlingham. In 1935 Burlingham St. Andrew, together with the other two "church" parishes that covered the town of Burlingham (the third was Burlingham St. Edmund or South Burlingham), was abolished and the land absorbed into the new civil parish of Lingwood and Burlingham.

A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Burlingham St. Andrew from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
