In St. Paul's church, Granborough, there is, or was, an epitaph to Thomas Burman, of the Middle Temple, late of Woolscot, who died in 1658: his accomplishments and pious living are thus recorded (D.): —
"The lore of God, of Church, and King,
Of country, parents, friends, and poore,
The bookes of law, the golden ring
Of arts and sciences, and more
Than epitaphs or poetts can
Express, lyes buried in Burman.".
In 1709 the Rev. Richard Burman was buried: in the church of Bourton - super - Dunsmore (D.). The name was represented in the adjacent county of Oxford in the reign of Edward I. (H. R.).
