Stansted Hall

It was the country seat of the Earls of Essex during the reign of Henry VIII of England.

So in the early 1660s Sir Thomas Myddleton built a new hall, a massive Jacobean four-story building with two large domed-shaped towers.

[2] Ebenezer Maitland (1780-1858) married Miss Berthia Ellis (1780-1863), the granddaughter of William Fuller (d.1800), a London banker.

When his wife’s maiden aunt Sarah Fuller, William’s only surviving heiress, died in 1810, left all she possessed to the couple – a substantial fortune estimated at £500,000 (equivalent to £44,811,843 in 2023) – stipulating that Ebenezer assume the surname Fuller Maitland.

[3] James Arthur Findlay bought the estate in 1923 from Sir Albert Ball.
