Abstract:		 Using documentary evidence, the article details the history of Queenstock Furnace in Buxted, shown to have been built under the auspices of John Morton, Archbishop of Canterbury, probably in 1490, at Iron Plat on the Uckfield Stream, within Morton's lordship of South Malling. It was the site at which William Levett cast guns from 1543 onwards. The technique of casting iron guns vertically in stave-lined pits had been used in the duchy of Jülich in 1539 and 1540, and it is suggested that it was brought to Normandy in 1540 and to the Weald in 1543, as a result of the alliances of both Francis I and Henry VIII with William de La Marck, Duke of Cleves.
