The family sold the Hall in 1871 to Henry Hurrell.[4]
It was then sold to Colonel T. Walter Harding in 1905.[4] In 1927, he died and left it to his only son, the zoologist Ambrose Harding, who moved there with his wife and adult children. His daughter Rosamond Harding, notable musicologist and music historian, lived there for 20 years until her late father's trust sold it to the university.[5][6]
