Sir Charles Duncombe (born 1648) was a successful banker and royal financier, as well as a Member of Parliament and the Lord Mayor of London. He was not married, but from around 1689 he set about establishing landed estates for his nephews as if they were his own sons; the land he purchased to this end included the property at Teddington. The house had ceilings painted by Verrio and carvings by Grinling Gibbons. Duncombe died at the Teddington house in 1711. The house was later known as Teddington Place, and stood just south of the present Saint Alban's church. It appears to have been pulled down in 1940.

Received in 1940 (ACC/0154).

Receipts for building work completed by Simon Foster, bricklayer, at Hamylands [or Hamy Lands], the property of Charles Duncombe in Teddington, 1691-1694.
