Francis Burdett (1743)

Francis Burdett was a member of the Burdett Family of Bramcote which had a lineage of Baronetcy. He failed to inherit the hereditary baronetcy, as he died in 1794, before his father did, in 1797. Thus he was only the son and father of two Bramcote Burdett baronets. He is the subject of two notable paintings.

Burdett was born in 1743 and baptised at Foremark, a hamlet near his families ancestral home of Foremarke Hall. He was the son of Sir Robert Burdett, 4th Baronet and his first wife. His mother Elizabeth died when he was young onAugust 1747 and his father married again. When Burdett came of age his father was having the ancestral home of Foremarke Hall remodelled.
