Burgon in Modern Times
Today, the name of Burgon is known almost exclusively in connection with the Dean Burgon Society and the King-James-Only Movement. However, while Burgon was outspoken about the Revised Version and maintained the position that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, his positions were not exactly the same as today's King James-Only movement.
Another society which takes the Burgon name is the Burgon Society, which was founded to promote the use and study of academical dress, named so because Burgon is the only person to have a hood shape named after him.

“I love my mother for all the times she said absolutely nothing. . . . Thinking back on it all, it must have been the most difficult part of mothering she ever had to do: knowing the outcome, yet feeling she had no right to keep me from charting my own path. I thank her for all her virtues, but mostly for never once having said, “I told you so.””
