Burton Dassett

Burton Dassett is a parish and shrunken medieval village in the Stratford-upon-Avon district of Warwickshire, England.

It was enclosed for sheep farming by Sir Edward Belknap and John Heritage at the end of the 15th century.

There is a heraldic memorial to John Temple and his children in Burton Dassett church.

The twelfth (undivided) shield represents Temple's son George who died young and therefore did not marry.

Susannah Smith, the wife of agriculturalist Jethro Tull was born in the village.
