[13] John Wilkins leased the house from c. 1700,[14] and the Grange was later bought by Henry Bentinck, 1st Duke of Portland.
[19] The Grange was later leased to Hely in September 1743 for twenty-one years at £15 pa.[20] The house was the residence of Lieutenant General Terence O'Loughlin from 1802 until his death in 1843.
