Note

Walter took over the iron manufacture on his father's death, and in partnership with his brother, John, greatly increased the family fortune. After serving the court of Charles I and casting shot for the government in 1653, he bought Ockenden Manor from the Michels' (the first recorded owners in the mid 1500's) in 1658 and extended it.

The mode of making iron in Sussex in the seventeenth century is detailed by John Ray, the celebrated naturalist, in two papers appended to his ‘Collection of English Words’. “This account of the whole process of the iron work,” he says, “I had from one of the chief iron-masters of Sussex, my honoured friend, Walter Burrell, of Cuckfield, Esq., deceased. The particulars of the modus operandi of the manufacture, furnished from so authentic a source, are of sufficient value to warrant their introduction in this place."
