The
parish of Mount Bures takes its name from the `mount` or
mound, which stands in the centre of the village and `bur`,
meaning cottage or dwelling. The village resides in Essex
with its boundary extending to the River Stour to the north
and Wakes Colne to the south.
Mount
Bures
was sometimes called Bures St John, Little Bures or Bures
Sackville, to distinguish it from Bures Hamlet and Bures
St Mary.
Today, Mount Bures is the adopted modern name.
The railway line opened in 1848 which runs through the parish
from south to north.
The nearest rail station is at Bures.
