It was lived in for a time by General Havelock, who was in the Indian Mutiny, and a road which led from the house to Newtown Road was named after him. Mr E Hills also owned the house, then Mr Algernon Sartoris whose daughter Mrs Gordon and family occupied it, Later still, it was bought by Mr G A Shenley, who had it enlarged. Lord Ellenborough, one time Lord Chief Justice of England lived there with his wife and brother in law. Then it was occupied by Admiral Wemyss, First Sea Lord at the Admiralty for some time during WWI. He changed the name to Mainsail Haul.
