Walter Cromwell 
Walter was born about 1457 in England. Walter's father was John Cromwell. His paternal grandfather was William Cromwell. He had a brother named John. He was the older of the two children. He died in 1516. He was buried in Wimbeldon Churchyard.General Notes
Walter succeeded his father at the fullingmill on the Wandle; for when the lease, originally granted to John Cromwell expired in 1473, it was renewed in favor of his son Walter, who added to the business of a fuller of cloth several other kinds of business. He carried on business as a smith, armorer, a brewer and a "hostelry keeper".
In his youth, Walter was apprenticed to his maternal uncle, who was a smith and brewer at Putney, and when his apprenticeship expired, he joined his father in conducting the fulling mill on the Wandle, but did no abandon his original trade as a smith and armorer, and thus he was described in the local records as sometimes as a smith, sometimes as a fuller, and sometimes as a brewer.
