John Long of Monkton Farleigh (nephew of Richard Godolphin Long) inherited the property after the death of the widow of his cousin William Long in 1822, who had left it at her disposal. In 1830, 365 Roman coins known as the Baynton Hoard were dug up in the grounds,Wiltshire Archaeological and Natural History Magazine, vol. 35 (1908) pp. 132–145 101 of which are now kept in the Wiltshire Museum, Devizes. John Long sold the property in 1842, and it subsequently passed to Simon Watson Taylor of Erlestoke, from whose heirs it was bought by G. S. H. Pearson about 1915.
