Sir Robert Burdett, 4th Baronet

Sir Robert Burdett, 4th Baronet (28 May 1716 – 13 February 1797) was a British politician and member of the English gentry.

After her death in 1747 he married secondly Lady Caroline, daughter of John Manners, 2nd Duke of Rutland, and widow of Sir Henry Harpur, 5th Baronet, in 1753.

He commissioned Foremarke Hall in Derbyshire to be built in 1794 as a stately home in 1760 for his son Francis Burdett.

According to a directory published in 1846,[3] the hall was "erected about the year 1762" by Sir Robert, replacing an earlier house on the site.

Sir Robert died in February 1797, aged 80, and was succeeded in the baronetcy by his grandson Sir Francis Burdett, the noted reformist politician, and the eldest son of Francis Burdett, who had predeceased him in 1794.
