BURDET was born about 1555 in Denby, Yorkshire. He had legal
problems in 1589. The Court of the Duchy of Lancaster Chamber heard
Pleadings, Depositions and Examinations in the case of Wortley and Clayton v.
Burdett about lands in Denby and Cumberworth: York. He granted fees in 1606.
Grant in fee simple by Ric Burdet of Denbie Hall, Esq and George Burdet, his
son and heir apparent to Francis Burdet of Birthwait, Esq of all their common,
moor and waste ground in Cumberworth. The following year more land deals were
recorded "Gift in fee simple by Francis Burdet of Birthwayt, esq to Richard
Burdet of Denbyie hall, esq, and George Burdet his son and heir apparent of those
several parcels of common known as 'Cliffe or 'Harcliffe' within the lordships
or townships of Cumberworth."
He had financial problems in 1610. Richard Burdet probably had
large debts inherited from his father. On Henry's death, the financial problems
for the Manor of Denby were compounded by Henry bequeathing all his wealth to
his nine illegitimate children, although he was powerless to settle the lordship
on them. Thus when his legitimate heir, Richard Burdet, became the Lord of the
Manor of Denby he had the title but very little money. He signed a will about
1616 in Denby, Yorkshire. Apart from the main bequest to his son
and heir, George, Richard left his son, Bosville, 10s; Thomas Wheatley, his late
daughter Dorothy's husband, 12d; his daughter Mary Green 2s 6d; to his wife and
his daughters Joan and Arabella he left the rest of his goods to be divided between
them. He was buried on 7 Apr 1617 in St. John's Church, Penistone, Yorkshire.
He died about 1617 in Denby, Yorkshire.
