Member of Parliament Henry Macwilliam (c. 1532-86) lived in the house. [4] Macwilliam's grandson, Sir Charles Stanhope sold the manor of Stambourne to Rachael, the widow of Sir John Cambell of Clay Hall, Barking. [5]

In the nineteenth century the house was occupied by the Fry family of chocolate makers. [3]

In July 2015, the house was for sale with an asking price of £1.65 million.

The Hodge family are now the owners (2017).
