In 1608 the property passed to Lucy Russell, Countess of Bedford.〔 Lucy gave it to a relative, Sir William Harrington Member of Parliament for Hertford, in 1618 and Harrington sold it to Mary Home, Countess of Home in 1621.〔 The property was acquired from the Countess of Home by Sir Thomas Nott, a Royalist Army officer, in 1640.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sir Thomas Nott )〕 Nott remained there until 1659 when he sold it to a Mr Henry Murray.〔 In 1668 Murray sold it to John Berkeley, 1st Baron Berkeley of Stratton, another Royalist Army officer, who died in 1678.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=John Berkeley, 1st Baron Berkeley of Stratton )〕 In 1685 the Berkeley family sold the property to Robert Brudenell, 2nd Earl of Cardigan.〔 The property was then bought by Sir Thomas Vernon, Member of Parliament for Whitchurch, in 1698〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sir Thomas Vernon of Twickenham Park )〕 and by the Algernon Coote, 6th Earl of Mountrath in 1743.〔 In 1766 the property passed to the Harriet Pelham-Holles, Duchess of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, who set about mixed farming in the park,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Twickenham Park: A Brief History )〕 and in 1788 it passed to Lord Frederick Cavendish, a British Army officer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lord Frederick Cavendish )〕 Following Cavendish's death in October 1803 the house passed to Sir William Abdy, 7th Baronet.
