Member of Parliament for
Hertford . Harrington sold it to
Mary Home, Countess of Home , a cousin of Lady Bedford, in 1621.

The property was acquired from the Countess of Home by
Sir Thomas Nott , a Royalist Army officer, in 1640.
[3] Nott remained there until 1659 when he sold it to a Mr Henry Murray.
