Henry sat out his "retirement" at Ribbesford until the end of the Republic when he again resumed his duties as Master of the Revels, but this time under Charles II.

The estate was purchased in 1787 by Francis Ingram who demolished the larger part of the house and filled in the moat which surrounded it.

The house was also used as the headquarters of the British 18th Infantry Division, by American military, and for Polish and Italian prisoners of war.

The property was bought in 1947 by RAF Wing Commander Alfred John Howell, who converted it into private apartments.
