Burrell was born at Golden Square, London, the son of Sir William Burrell, 2nd Baronet, and his wife Sophia Raymond. He succeeded to the title of Baronet Raymond of Valentine House on 20 January 1796. In 1806 he was elected as MP for New Shoreham and he held the seat until his death in 1862.
Knepp Castle House
Burrell built a country mansion near Knepp Castle, known by the same name, near West Grinstead,[1] and purchased an estate at Boulton. He owned a house in Richmond Terrace, London, which was the subject of a court case in 1833 in which he argued that because the house was on the site of the former Palace of Whitehall, it was not liable to the poor rate of St. Margaret's, Westminster.[2]
Burrell married Frances Wyndham, the illegitimate daughter of George Wyndham, 3rd Earl of Egremont, and Elizabeth Ilive, on 4 July 1808 at St. George's Church, Hanover Square. Their eldest son, Charles Wyndham Burrell, died aged seventeen, but his other sons, Percy and Walter, succeeded successively to the baronetcy and the seat of New Shoreham.
