Biographical history
The manor of Hampstead was held by Westminster Abbey from 1086 till 1540 when the Abbey surrendered to the Crown. The Crown endowed the land to the new Bishopric of Westminster until this was dissolved in 1550. Subsequently the manor was granted to Sir Thomas Wroth. In 1620 it was sold to Sir Baptist Hicks, and stayed in his family until 1707 when it was sold to Sir William Langhorne. It subsequently passed through various hands until the manorial rights lapsed in 1944. In 1889 part of the estate, East Heath Park, comprising 56 acres, was added to Hampstead Heath.
