The Year of James Burton
July 2011 saw the 250th anniversary of the birth of James Burton, a builder and designer who helped shape modern London – in Bloomsbury, St John’s Wood, Southwark, Regent’s Park, Regent Street and elsewhere.
Burton was also the founder and planner of the Regency new town of St Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex.
To mark this anniversary the Burtons’ St Leonards Society will be putting on a year-long programme of events in St Leonards and London, including walks, talks, exhibitions, lectures, visits, ceremonies, tea parties and food events.
