John Nottingham and Mike Silburn have extended their researches into the enclosure acts and tithes apportionments in the local area and have produced a map and associated table for the parish and village of Burnby as at 1849, listing the landowners and their then tenants.

At the time, the bulk of the lands and properties were owned by Sir Charles Henry John Anderson, the 9th and last baronet. Although his own family seat was at Lea Hall near Gainsborough in Lincolnshire, he had inherited considerable lands and property in the East Riding from his father in 1846, including the previous family seat at Kilnwick Percy Hall.

Apart from 47 acres of Glebe allotted to the Rector of Burnby, another landowner was Simeon Templeman, the noted jockey and winner of three Epsom Derbys and who lived at Burnby House (Close 176) in the village. Close 175 was owned by the Trustees & Governers of the 'Tancred Charity', endowed by the 1746 will of a Christopher Tancred of Whixley Hall near Green Hammerton.

Lastly, George Hudson's York & North Midland Railway had purchased some 24 acres of land from several neighbouring landowners ('Closes' 178 & 178a) for the 1847 railway line running between Pocklington & Market Weighton, including the station at Burnby (re-named as 'Nunburnholme' in 1873 to avoid confusion with Burnley).
