[5] The Gosnold family relinquished control of the building around 1668 when it was sold Sir Anthony Deane.
However, although the property remained in their family possession for over 200 years, it was never used by them as a residence.
However, when William Ling went bankrupt in 1880, the tenancy was taken over by Frederick Miller.
When the Rebows sold the estate in 1900, Miller bought the property.
