Biography by Margaret Bent
English composer. He is known from a Gloria and a Credo in the second layer of the Old Hall Manuscript which are ascribed simply to ‘Burell’. A royal chaplain of this name appears in the wardrobe lists of 1413, 1415 (when he was on the sick-list at Harfleur) and 1421. He held canonries at Chichester, Hereford and York (where he was precentor for a mere ten days in 1410) and a corrody at Meaux Abbey from 1416. He is mentioned as deceased in a warrant, dated 5 February 1423, to present one John Hunt, also a clerk of the royal chapel, to his Meaux corrody.
