Stumbletts Furnace is a blast furnace located near Twyford House in Sussex, England, dating to the iron-working period of the early modern era. The site represents the industrial heritage of the Weald, a region historically significant for iron production, and survives as a substantial earthwork monument marking the location of metalworking activity. The furnace exemplifies the type of installation that supported Sussex's once-prominent iron industry, which flourished particularly during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries when demand for iron goods and ordnance was high.
