Greensted remained in the possession of the Rivers family for almost a century, until the commencement of 1300, at which point the estate came into the hands of William de la Hay, the manner of the transaction is unclear, as is how it then passed from William de la Hay's family into the hands of Ralph, Earl of Stafford.
Under the ownership of the Stafford family, the estate was held with numerous manors in Essex, by Robert Bourchier, who possessed it at the time of his death, in 1349.
At the beginning of the 17th century, a family named Young appear to have retained it for about forty years, and then to have sold it in 1661, to Robert Hulson, who held it until 1695.
In the year 1695, Alexander Cleeve, Citizen of London, and Pewterer,[4] purchased the estate of Greensted Hall, at the age of twenty-nine, from the last mentioned Robert Hulson and others having an interest in the sale, together with the Advowson of the living.
[6] During the third quarter of the twentieth century Greensted Hall was home to the Vienna born industrialist-entrepreneur Dr Georg Tugendhat (1898-1973) and his family.
