# Burdett baronets

There have been three baronetcies created for persons with the surname Burdett, two in the Baronetage of England and one in the Baronetage of Ireland. As of 2008, two of the creations are extant while one is dormant.

## Burdett baronets, of Bramcote (1619)

The Burdett Baronetcy, "of Bramcote in the County of Warwick" (Bramcote in the parish of Polesworth), was created in the Baronetage of England on 25 February 1619 for Thomas Burdett, Sheriff of Derbyshire from 1610 to 1611. He was a descendant of Robert Burdet, who had a grant of free warren in Seckington, Warwickshire in 1327. His son and heir Robert was born there in 1345. The manor then followed the descent of Bramcote in this family, until 1919, when the eighth Baronet sold the estate in lots. The manorial rights, attached to Seckington Hall Farm, were bought by Mr. Harry Arnold.
The first Baronet's son, Francis, the second Baronet, was High Sheriff of Derbyshire for 1649. He was succeeded by his son, Robert, the third Baronet, who sat as Member of Parliament for Warwickshire and Lichfield. His grandson, Robert, the fourth Baronet, succeeded at birth in May 1716, four months after the death of his grandfather. He represented Tamworth in the House of Commons. On his death in 1797 the title passed to his grandson, Francis, the fifth Baronet, who was a prominent reformist politician. Burdett married Sophia, daughter of the wealthy banker Thomas Coutts. He was succeeded by his only son, Robert, the sixth Baronet. He served as Sheriff of Derbyshire in 1848. He died unmarried in 1880 and was succeeded by his first cousin, Francis, the seventh Baronet. He was the son of William Jones Burdett, younger brother of the fifth Baronet. He was High Sheriff of Surrey in 1880 and was succeeded by his son from his second marriage, Francis, the eighth Baronet. On his death in 1951 the baronetcy became dormant.
The philanthropist Angela Burdett-Coutts, 1st Baroness Burdett-Coutts, was the youngest daughter of the fifth Baronet. The seat of the Burdett family was Foremarke Hall, Derbyshire.
