 Burlington, CT
The Methodists organized in Burlington by the 1790's and grew to such an extent that Burlington was made a "Circuit" and was considered the center of Methodism in northwestern Connecticut.
Burlington's second century, however, stands in marked contrast to the first, dominated by constant change and development which has molded it into a significantly different place than it was at the beginning of the 20th Century.
Burlington's population growth in the second half of the 20th Century has its roots in the post World War II economic prosperity, the improvement of roads, and increased relocation of people from cities to suburban areas.

 Images of Chiswick House by Lord Burlington
Richard Boyle, Third Earl of Burlington and 4th Earl of Cork (1694-1753) designed one of the most important works of the eighteenth century Palladian movement--his "villa" called Chiswick House.
Burlington was recognized during his time (admittedly in part by his friends) as "The Apollo of the Arts" (Horace Walpole), a "modern Vitruvius" (Daniel Defoe), and "the Palladio and [Inigo] Jones of our times" (Scipio Maffei and Alexander Pope) (Harris, 5, 19).
Burlington had seen Palladio's Rotonda in Vicenza, but scholars attribute Burlington's particular debt to Palladio's student, Vincenzo Scamozzi, especially his Rocca Pisani near Vicenza as well as his Villa Molini.

 Burlington Arcade
Nearly two centuries later, Burlington Arcade retains this spirit and remains the most elegant shopping arcade in London, offering a welcome retreat from the swirling bustle and noise of London’s streets.
To protect the customers and keep out the ruffians of Regency London, Lord George Cavendish founded a corps of Burlington Arcade Beadles, all recruited from his regiment of the 10th Hussars.
The Beadles enforced the Regency laws which prohibited singing, humming and hurrying in Burlington Arcade and, true to this tradition, today’s Beadles - resplendent in their Edwardian frock coats, gold buttons and gold-braided top hats -continue to ensure that shoppers uphold standards of courtesy, quiet and decorum.

Walpole, in his Anecdotes of Painting, described Boyle as "the Apollo of Arts" and Kent as his "proper priest." He was a close friend of Alexander Pope, whose "Epistle to Burlington" acknowledges his great taste in both architecture and landscape design.
