For some time the original hall on this site was occupied by Sir Richard Fanshawe, 1st Baronet (1608–1666), English diplomat, translator, and poet. He became the ambassador to Portugal and Spain; he published a translation of the Italian poem "Il Pastor Fido" (The Faithful Shepherd) and his manuscript of his translations of poems by Horace and Boethius (from the Consolation of Philosophy) is in the British Library.
