Samuel Burder
Samuel Burder (1773 – 21 November 1837) was an Anglican clergyman, and a writer on religious subjects.
Life[edit]
Burder was the son of William Burder, and was related to George Burder. Brought up as a dissenter, he was minister of an independent congregation at St Albans. In 1808 he was admitted to Clare Hall, Cambridge, but his name does not appear in the list of graduates. Having conformed to the Church of England, he was ordained in the autumn of 1808 by Bishop Barrington of Durham. He was preacher in London at St Margaret Lothbury, at St Dunstan's, Fleet Street, and afterwards at Christ Church Newgate. He was appointed (before 1816) chaplain to the Duke of Kent, and in 1827 to the Earl of Bridgewater. He died on 21 November 1837.[1][2]
