Abstract:		 Ashburnham furnace was not (as has been reported) let in 1709 to John Hanbury and Ambrose Crowley, but to the (Foley) Forest Partnership from the Forest of Dean (Gloucestershire). Their managing partner was William Rea, the probable compiler of the well-known list of ironworks in the Fuller manuscripts. Their production at Ashburnham was on a scale comparable with their Gloucestershire furnaces, and rather larger than then usual in the Weald. Its products were marketed unusually widely, and included firebacks sold in London, hammers and anvils sold for use in forges in the Midlands and south Wales, pig-iron and blooms sold to their Midlands partners; Winlaton Mill in Durham, Carburton Forge in Nottinghamshire, and several Wealden forges were also customers. The business was transferred to its resident manager, Thomas Hussey, probably with partners, about 1717 and they went on to acquire further ironworks. These became the basis of the gunfounding business the 1750s. Ashburnham Furnace was leased to the Crowleys in the late 1730s, however, probably initially to supply their works near Newcastle.
