Emily Temple who was an early
benefactress of our town
although is little known.
Born in the early years of
the nineteenth century she
became a successful woman
in what was then a man's
world. Madame Temple, as
she like d to be called,
came to live in Burgess Hill
building St. John's House
for herself. Later she built
five villas in Upper St John's
Road, five pairs of semi-detached
villas in Lower Church Road
and the St John's Institute
(now Park Centre). Madame

to the poor. |

In
1862, Simeon Norman started
a building business, and
later formed a partnership
with his brother in law,
Henry Burt. The firm soon
expanded and eventually undertook
Church restoration work employing
their expert wood carvers
and stonemasons. The business
finally closed in 1974, but
most of their archives went
to the West Sussex Record
Office at Chichester. |

Sampson
Copestake, a merchant banker,
bought Cants and Inholmes
farms and in 1875 leased
part of Cants farm to Henry
Johnson who started making
bricks and tiles. The Works
thrived until 1884, when
a fire was accidentally started
by three boys, which burnt
down the entire Works. After
a short time the Works were
taken over by new management,
and apart from a short period
during the war, have been
working continuously to the
present day. |
