The name is almost certainly derived from that of the Burgeys family who were taxed here in 1296, 1327 and 1332 when the name of John Burgeys appears on the Subsidy Rolls.

Leader of Burgess Hill Town Council, Cllr Peter Williams said, ‘In view of the weather forecast for Saturday, with the potential for winds gusting up to 60mph, it was a difficult decision to cancel the Festive Market.
