Etymology
v. burhtun . The above documents from 1294 YI onwards include many references to the Constable family. Erneburgh was the widow of Gilbert de Alost (early 12th); she afterwards married Ulbert le Conestable and so brought the manor into the possession of the Constables. Cf. West Newton supra . Santri in the DB spelling is obscure.
