Background
History
The Burton first opened in 1951 to a design by architect Frank Whiting when Hubert Coop RBA (1872–1953) and Alderman Thomas Burton (1875–1959), a former Mayor of Bideford and a local businessman, gifted The Burton to the town to provide "a gallery for the enjoyment, education and good of all, old and young, inhabitants and visitors, everyone and as far as one can tell, of lasting credit to the living and those to come." This was done by the two in memory of Burton's daughter Mary (1904–1949), a talented artist who died of cancer.
