Biography

Fuller was adopted by his uncle, through whom he became steward of Bletchingley and obtained his seat in the Commons for Elizabeth’s last Parliament. He was no doubt known to the Howards of Effingham, the dominant local family. By 1608 he was a j.p. and negotiating a marriage for his eldest daughter with the heir of Edward Dyer. He died at Tandridge 10 Mar. 1625, his nuncupative will naming Edward Bostock Fuller, the eldest surviving son, heir to the estate.
