<\/p>\nThe Burt\u2019s during the nineteenth century were a very prominent and important family to Launceston. Not only were they saddlers and landlords of the White Horse Inn, but also builders who would go on to construct much of what we see today in Launceston as well as the many road bridges that are in place from Camelford to Okehampton. The Roundhouse at Newport was bought by Charles Nations Burt and was used by his son, George Burt, as a builders store. George bequeathed it to the town on his death in 1915.<\/p>\n
