Clayton and Gibson – Burdon family of Castle Eden

Burdon family of Castle Eden The rise of the family from the merchant class of Stockton on Tees, their purchase of Castle Eden in 1758 and subsequent vicissitudes centred upon the failure of the bankers Surtees, Burdon and Company in 1803 are well chronicled by H.B. Tristram, D.D., F.R.S. in D/CG 5/1. The failure of the bank is described in Maberly Phillips, A History of Banks, Bankers and Banking in Northumberland, Durham and North Yorkshire, 1894, in whose opinion Rowland Burdon IV was ‘beyond all comparison, the most illustrious of his race. Burdon was related by marriage to John Brandling, another partner in the bank. The Surtees family were related by marriage to Lord Chancellor Eldon, a life-long friend of Burdon since their shared school days. Rowland IV was an M. P., so briefly was Rowland the last. Rowland III constructed the church at Castle Eden. Later Burdons were benefactors to the Church of England both in the coastal mining villages rising on their land at the end of the 19th century and in the establishment of Anglican teacher training colleges in Durham City. The last Rowland was chairman of the Governors of St. Hild’s College (an office which his father and uncle had occupied beforehand) until the 1930s. The chairmanship of Quarter Sessions passed, after a short interval, from Rowland Burdon IV (d. 1838) to his son Rowland Burdon V (d. 1875) In addition to various estate plans, leases and deeds (more of which are to be found in the separate deposit of Castle Eden Estate Papers, D/CE) much of this collection is taken up with the last Rowland Burdon’s financial affairs, the establishment of an estate company (popular in the 1930s for mitigating some of the impost of taxation) and settlements upon his daughters. There are papers relating to his public life (High Sheriff) and business interests, photographs of his son (killed in 1917)and papers relating to his own death. The contribution of Rowland Burdon IV to the building of the Wearmouth Bridge (and the debate regarding it between the Reverend John Burdon, Samuel Smiles, Robert Stephenson and others, all in the 1850s) forms one section of somewhat different composition. Another is formed by the papers of General Matthews who had been killed in India by Tippoo Sahib. The Burdons were related by marriage to the Hildyards. Further material is to be found in D/CG 13.
