The Estate had many tenants including a Mr Parsons, protégé of Lord Portman, celebrated farm and inventor of agricultural machinery. The Hebditch’s arrived in 1895 as tenants and subsequently bought the Estate from Lord Portman and the house is still in the ownership of the family and has never been sold since then.
