William Claiton to George Burdett, his heir apparent, of all his lands, tenements,
waters, streams etc in Denbie (Denby)."

In 1619 is recorded a Grant by "William Clayton of Hymsworthe, yeoman, to
George Burdett of Denbye, esq, his heir apparent, of a yearly rent of 9d payable
out of the lands belonging to the tenement called Bagden in Over Denbye and a
yearly rent of 1d payable out of other lands."
He was the recipient of a Bond in 1611. "Bond in £24
by Matthew Burdett of Denby, gent, son and heir of Nicholas Burdett late of Swawell,
gent, deceased to George Burdett of Denby Hall, gent, son and heir apparent of
Richard Burdett of Denby Hall, esq, for the performance of certain covenants."
He granted land on Denby Common between 1622 and 1625. In 1622
is recorded a Lease for life by "George Burdett of Denbye (Denby) Hall,
esq, to Brian Robinson of Denbye, husbandman, and Joan his wife, of a cottage
lately built on Denby Common with the waste ground adjoining thereto; at an annual
rent of 12d." In 1625 there was a Grant by George Burdett of Denbye (Denby)
Hall, esq, to Thomas Wainewright of Denby Milne in Denbye, collier, and Elizabeth
his wife and their heirs, of a cottage lately built at great cost by the said
Thomas on Denby Common, with a garden and a parcell of land. He leased a water
mill in 1627. "Lease for 41 years (in consideration of the cancellation
of a lease dated 28 Feb 11 Jas I of a water mill called Denby Milne and a cottage
and grounds now in occupation of the u/m John Suydall) by George Burdett of Denby
Hall, esq, to John Suydall."
He sorted out his financial affairs between 1627 and 1636. In 1626
there was a "Lease for 21 years, for a consideration of £10, by George
Burdett of Denby Hall, esq, to Richard Brooke of Hollinghouse in Clayton, tanner,
of the east part (as described) of a close called 'Trister' in Denby Hall. Annual
rent of 10s."
In 1627 there was a "Lease for 21 years for a consideration of £20,
by George Burdett of Denby Hall, esq, to John Burdett of Denbye, gent, of part
of messuage situate in the E part of 'Trister' close, with sundry buildings,
lands and closes in Denby."
In 1636 there was an "Assignment; for a consideration of £20, by George
Burdett of Denby Hall, esq, to Joan Marshall of Over Denby, widow, of the wardship
and marriage of Rychard Marshall, son and heir of Robert Marshall of Over Denby,
yeoman deceased." In the same year there was a "Grant by Geo Burdett
of Denby Hall, esq, (in performance of agreement set forth in indentures of even
date between the grantor and Walter Stonehouse of Darfield, clerk, and Nich
Brodeley of Cawthorne clerk), to Robt Rockley" and also a "Bond in
£200 by Geo Burdett of Denby, esq, and Ric his son and heir, gent, to Francis
Nevile of Cheete [Chevet], esq."
In 1637 there was a "Lease for 31 years by Geo Burdett of Denbie Hall,
esq, to John Lynley alias Wilde of Denbie, miller, of land in Denbie; the lessee
paying an annual rent of £9." He died about 1640 in Denby, Yorkshire.
George became Lord of the Manor in 1616. From that time onward there were major
tenure problems.
George squandered the family's finances in the Law Courts fighting against the
locals refusing to pay suit at his court. For example on 9 October 1611 he took
his aunt Alice and her husband Aymer Rich to court about lands at Bullhouse.
Aymer received a judgement in his favour on 25 October 1611. In 1618 George had
a steward, Cotton Horn of Cumberworth, who was retained to keep his Court Baron
at Denby and to preside over it. However there was a dispute (naming George and
Cotton Horn) with Prince Charles (later King Charles I) over land rights. George
either built or rebuilt Denby Hall Farm in 1632 which cost a great deal of money.
The large barn at Denby Hall Farm was originally living accommodation. His relationship
with Francis Burdet of Birthwaite was acrimonious and George refused to attend
Parliament to act as a witness when Francis was knighted. They had fallen out
about payments for the Denby Manor. The costs of keeping the Manor were crippling.
Denby Hall and Manor were sold on 7 January 1636. George died soon afterwards.
