Thank you so much for this. I feel my great-uncle coming to life, as it were, the more I read about him. I am puzzling how to establish a connection with him through my cousinage, if indeed this can be done at all. But the Somerset Herald at the College of Arms has granted me the right to bear the Burdett coat of arms, first granted to Sir Henry, which is a beginning

Hello
A friend of mine is researching one of Sir Henry Burdett's sons - Francis.  He was a catholic parish priest in Glastonbury, Somerset 1926 - 1928.  He is linked to the famous sculptor Eric Gill, who was commissioned by Fr Francis to do a sculpture of Madonna and Child for the first catholic church in Glastonbury - now known as the Burdett Madonna and child which is on display in Glastonbury Abbey.
Have you a photo of Francis please.
If you want to know more about Fr Francis let me know
