Who was William Currie?
William Currie, was a land owner, distiller, banker and Member of Parliament for Gatton and Winchelsea.
On his father's death in 1781, he inherited his father's 75% interest in the distilling partnership his father had started with Nathaniel Byles. He also became a partner in the family banking firm, replacing his father, but seems to have taken no active part, leaving the responsibilities to his brother Isaac.
He is chiefly remembered for the restoration of the village of East Horsley and its manor house, East Horsley Towers.
