Histórico
The Manor of Amersham was conveyed to William Drake, owner of the Amersham mansion house Shardeloes, in 1637. Drake was made a baronet in 1641. The baronetcy expired on his death, childless, in 1669; while the estates passed to his nephew Sir William Drake. The name Tyrwhitt derives from Thomas Drake, a younger son who had adopted the name Tyrwhitt in 1776. On the 1796 death of his older brother without children, Thomas inherited the manor and resumed the name of Drake. On his death in 1810 the property passed to his son Thomas Tyrwhitt-Drake. The family owned the manor until the Second World War.
