In 1507, the Monson family established the family seat at South Carlton and in 1607 Sir Thomas Monson who had acquired most of the land in Burton, established his residence here. The fortunes of the Monson family ebbed and flowed with the political climate and under Cromwell, the Burton estates were sequestrated by the Commonwealth. However his son, Sir John Monson, still had funds in 1651 to provide a covenant of £20 towards the maintenance of 10 Bedeswomen here - the almshouses still remain
In 1728, his grandson John was created Baron Monson of Burton by George II. When John George Monson the 4th Lord died in 1809 his estates were inherited by his son Frederick who was just 9 months old. His mother remarried to the Earl of Warwick and from the age of 10 the 5th Lord was brought up in Warwick Castle. Being a very delicate child and the Lincolnshire climate was considered unsuitable, in 1830 the Trustees sold 12,000 acres of the Lincolnshire estates to fund the purchase of Gatton Hall in Surrey as a more suitable residence when he came of age. In consequence rent from the remaining Lincolnshire land was invested in Gatton, and Burton Hall, the village and the tenanted farms were neglected. In 1841 the parish records show that Burton Hall was occupied by just 2 old retainers,
