Biographical history

Tooting Bec Manor originally comprised two estates, Tooting and Streatham. They were united when both came to Richard de Tonbridge, Lord of Clare. In 1086 he granted some of the manorial lands to the abbey of Bec Hellouin in Normandy, and a Priory of Tooting Bec was established. The manor was held by the Tonbridge family until 1349, and then passed to Margaret wife of Hugh Audley. In 1436 the manor was held by her great-great-grandson Humphrey Earl of Stafford. By 1521 the manor was held by the Crown. It was sold to John Dudley, Earl of Warwick, who sold it on. The manor passed through various families until 1873 when all the estates were enfranchised and acquired by the Metropolitan Board of Works, and then the London County Council in 1889.
