It was a member of this family, Thomas Bond, who in Stuart times made his mark on the nation when he laid out and then gave his name to the famous London remains of the original building, which was badly damaged when it was set on fire by Parliamentarian forces during the English Civil War. In 1846 the entire front was taken down and rebuilt in the local Tudor style.
