Biographical Details	Thomas Burgess was apprenticed to William Bayes in 1817. For a period he was in partnership with William Burgess Bayes. A William Hain Burgess, who had been apprenticed to Bayes and Burgess, was made free in 1847. Monuments signed ‘Burgess’ appear as late as the 1870s, which suggests that it was a durable family business. Archival References: Yarmouth Freeman’s Book (inf Jon Bayliss)
