I kii tetahi ripoata 1562 ki a ia e tekau noa nga whare rangatira i te raki o tana ao e tika ana kia pupuri; ehara a Melbourne i tetahi o enei. He rangahau anō i te tau 1576, ahakoa he pai tonu te mahi kohatu i tua atu i te komine me te matapihi kotahi, kua ngaro nga rakau, he nui nga poka i te tuanui o te mata, he kihini i te taha o te hinganga, a ko tetahi atu e hiahia ana kia whakakapia tona papa. I taua tau ano, i tuhituhi a George Talbot, 6th Earl o Shrewsbury, ki te kuini ki te whakamana i a ia kei te pai te ahua o te whare rangatira, he £ 1,000 te utu, ka taea te whakatika mo te £ 100. I te mea ko ia te kawenga mo te pupuri i a Meri, Kuini o Scotland, me ana kaimahi 140, i tumanako ia kia nekehia ia ki Melbourne. I te 1583, i tirotirohia ano te whare rangatira kia kite mena he pai ki te noho i te kuini whakarau. Ahakoa he nui te maha me te kounga o nga ruma, i whakaarohia te whare kaore i oti "he koretake i nga kokonga katoa". Ko nga ruma nui e hiahia ana ki te wehewehe, ko nga papa he whenua me te papa, a kaore he marae kua oti te tarai "i te mea kei waho o nga tatau kei roto koe i te myre, na te mea he tino tini me te unpleasaunt ki te hikoi huri noa i te whare i kiia". I te 1584, i whakatau a Kuini Erihapeti ki te neke atu ki a Meri ki Melbourne, engari ka whakarerea te mahere i muri i te Babington Plot ki te patu i te kuini Ingarihi me te whakanoho i tana whanaunga Scottish ki te torona. I te 1597, i whakamahia te whare rangatira hei whare kararehe, ahakoa he rangahau i te 1602 i whakapumau a Erihapeti he "fair and anciente castle, e pupuri ana tona Rangatira i ona ake ringa". Ko te utu a-tau a te kaitiaki mo te £ 10 he rite tonu ki tera i utua ki a Ingram Fauconer 140 tau ki muri. I hokona te whare rangatira me nga whenua mo te £ 4,700 i te 1604, na Henry Hastings, 5th Earl o Huntingdon, ko te nohoanga o tona whanau i Ashby de la Zouch Castle he 11 km noa iho (7 mi). I whakangaromia a Melbourne Castle i waenga i te 1610 me te 1637 kia taea ai te whakamahi i ona rauemi ki etahi atu hanganga. I te tau 1629, ko te mea pea ko nga kohatu katoa i mahia i runga ake i te whenua...  Pātai: Ko George Talbot te kawenga mō te herehere o tēhea tangata rongonui?
Ko Meri, Kuini o Ngā Puka
