William Burton (clergyman)
William Burton (died 1616) was an English clergyman, known for his writings, an insider's view of the Puritan ascendancy at Norwich, and as an eyewitness to heresy executions.
Life
He was born at Winchester (year unknown, but thought to have lived to past 70). He was educated at Winchester School and New College, Oxford, of which, after graduating B.A., he was admitted perpetual fellow on 5 April 1563. He left the university in 1565.
He was minister at Norwich for five years, taken to be the period 1584–9. But he seems to have been in Norwich or the immediate neighbourhood at least as early as 1576, perhaps as assistant in the free school. His name appears in 1583 among the Norfolk divines (over sixty in number) who scrupled subscription to John Whitgift's three articles. He left an account of Norwich during his time. The leaders of the Puritans were John More, vicar of St. Andrew's (died 1592), and Thomas Roberts, rector of St. Clements (died 1576). For many years there was daily preaching, attended by the magistrates and over twenty of the city clergy, besides those of the cathedral. It was the custom each day for one or other of the magistrates to keep open house for the clergy, whose advice was sought in the city council.
William Burton (Canadian politician)
William Burton (January 25, 1888 – October 16, 1944) was a Canadian politician, most prominent in his role as mayor of Hamilton, Ontario.
Born in Derby, England, Burton emigrated to Hamilton in 1907. He subsequently established the Burton Coal Company. Enlisting in the 120th City of Hamilton Battalion upon the outbreak of World War I, he rose to the rank of Captain.
In 1924, he was elected as the alderman for Ward 6. He was re-elected to that post in 1925. He served the following two years on the Board of Control.
He was then elected Mayor of Hamilton twice, in 1928 and 1929.
