The site historically housed a residence of the Bishops of London. The present, early C16 house was sequestrated during the English Civil War but then reverted to the Bishop at the Restoration. It became a lunatic asylum in 1817 until it passed back to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners in 1868. It was sold as a private house in 1888 and after World War II became the home of Major Sir Edward Beddington-Behrens. The property is now divided into three separate dwellings. Taken from the nearby churchyard of St Andrew.
