John 'Mad Jack' Fuller
John Fuller (20 February 1757 – 11 April 1834), better known as "''Mad Jack''" Fuller (although he himself preferred to be called "''Honest John''" Fuller), was Squire of the hamlet of Brightling, in Sussex, and is well known as a builder of follies, and as a philanthropist, patron of the arts and sciences, and a supporter of slavery. He purchased and commissioned many paintings from J.M.W. Turner. He was sponsor and mentor to Michael Faraday.
== Early life ==
Fuller was born on 20 February 1757 in North Stoneham, Hampshire. He was christened in the village of Waldron, near Heathfield in Sussex, in the south of England. His parents were the Reverend Henry Fuller (15 January 1713 – 23 July 1761) and his wife Frances, ''née'' Fuller (1725 – 14 February 1778).〔(John "Mad Jack" Fuller, Squire of Brightling: a genealogy ).〕
He lost his father in 1761, when he was four. At the age of ten, in 1767, he began his education at Eton College, a public school in Buckinghamshire.
On 7 May 1777, Jack Fuller's uncle Rose Fuller, MP died,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Fuller Family of Sussex )〕 leaving Jack his Sussex estates and Jamaican plantations. Jack Fuller thus took possession of the Rose Hill estate (now Brightling Park) at Brightling, Sussex at the age of 20.
