MEET GLYNN BURROWS
Your English Connection
I grew up in the same Norfolk village where my ancestors have lived since at least 1620. After nearly 50 years of researching the laborers, craftsmen, families and pioneers of this land, I’ve realized that history isn't found in a textbook—it’s found in the local pub, the 400-year-old farmhouse, and the quiet village church.
Whether you are searching for your family roots or dreaming of a bespoke journey through England’s hidden gardens and historic castles, I am here to ensure your experience is personal, authentic, and unforgettable.
The Evolution of the Connection
What began as Norfolk Tours—a deep dive into the heritage of East Anglia—has naturally grown to cover the length and breadth of the British Isles. Today, The English Connection curates bespoke journeys across England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, bringing the same local intimacy and historical rigor to every corner of our islands.
