In August 1762, Clutton was bankrupt.
The assignees of Clutton’s bankruptcy were named as the Rev. Ralph Clutton, his elder brother, who had succeeded his father as Rector at Horsted Keynes, Samuel Durrant Esq., of Lewes, and Robert Chatfield, of Cuckfield. From the accounts of Robert Knight, they appear to have carried on smelting at Gravetye at the beginning of 1763. But a different interpretation may be that from February through to May Knight merely carried away the backlog of ordnance that had been stored nearby at Mill Place, thus giving Ralph Clutton and his co-assignees funds to pay off creditors, in addition to the bar iron they were selling from the forges. In 1765, Gravetye Manor House, its farm and 200 acres, together with the furnace, were auctioned at the Star Inn in Lewes. William Clutton was appointed Steward to the Manor of Horsted Keynes Broadhurst in 1762 and married Sarah, the daughter of Robert Chatfield, in the next year. He purchased a career in land agency and stewardship thereafter, dying in old age at his home of Ockenden, in Cuckfield, in 1821. Through his son and grandson, the present firms bearing the family name directly descended.
