In 1935 Burlingham St. Edmund, together with the other two "church" parishes (Burlingham St. Andrew and Burlingham St. Peter, known jointly as North Burlingham) that covered the town of 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. Edmund from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:

"BURLINGHAM-ST. EDMUND, a parish in Blofield [registration] district, Norfolk; contiguous to Burlingham-St. Andrew. Post Town: Burlingham, under Norwich. Acres: 661. Real property: £1,820. Population: 85. Houses: 17. The property is divided among a few. The living is a rectory, annexed to the rectory of Burlingham-St. Andrew, in the diocese of Norwich. The church is old but good."
