The Reverend Sir William Ashburnham (1710–1797) was a Church of England Clergyman and also a baronet. ==Family== There is some confusion over the origins of the Ashburnham family, writers have suggested that they may have been an Anglo Saxon family who were in England before the Norman conquest.〔 There was, for example, a Bertram Ashburnham in charge of Dover castle at the time of the Conquest and Camden described the Ashburnham family as being of "great antiquity".〔Camden. Brittania. Vol 1. Sussex 15〕〔Lower. Worthies of Sussex. p. 288〕 However, the Domesday Book indicates that the owner of Ashburnham before the Conquest was actually someone called ''Siward''.〔Morris. Domesday Book Sussex. 9,7〕 The post-Conquest record is that the lord who held Ashburnham from the Tenant-in-chief, Robert, Earl of Eu, was Robert de Cruel and it is probably from this Cruel (or Criol) that the real Ashburnham line began.〔 Their arrival in England would have been from Normandy, during the Conquest, at a place now called Creully in the arrondissement of Caen.〔(National Archive. Reference: ASH. dates:1048–1984 East Sussex Record Office )〕 The baronetcy itself, was created in 1691 with the first baronet being Denny Ashburnham. William Asburnham was the son of Sir Charles Ashburnham, the 3rd baronet of Bromham, Guestling, Sussex. William succeeded to the title as 4th Baronet Ashburnham, on 3 October 1762. He married Margaret daughter of Thomas Pelham of Lewes, in Guestling and had a son William who became the M.P. for Hastings.〔Kimber.
