This article discusses the accumulation of wealth and land by the Fuller family of Rose Hill, later named Brightling Park (NCR TQ 684 211 )from the end of the seventeenth century, and considers the changes in agrarian practice and organization on their estates. The Fullers owned Heathfield ironworks (TQ 599 186 ), a forge at Burwash, and between 1693 and 1763 had substantial cannon contracts from the Board of Ordnance. The family also owned sugar plantations in the West lndiesand the success of these after 1740 provided an important source of income for the rest of the century. The profits from sugar, iron working, and the agrarian side helped the family to expand their Wealden estates and invest in agricultural improvement, to purchase Government and Company stocks in London, and to help family members enter national politics, set up in trade and hold office in the Church. The relationships between agricultural work and iron working on the estate are analysed, along with the failure to invest in new iron working techniques. | |||
