        Historia

        In 1750 Samuel Wegg bought a house and a few acres of land in Acton. The house was known variously as 'the Paddocks', 'Acton House' and 'the Elms'. Samuel's wife Elizabeth Lehook added to their land when she inherited the Bank House and estate; while Samuel further increased the estate, purchasing the Daycroft estate from the Chapter of Saint Paul's cathedral in 1758 and leasing Acton Ponds from the Bishop of London from 1777.

        Wegg died in 1802 and left his estates to his son George Samuel, who died in 1817. The estates passed to Samuel's daughters, one of whom, Sarah Prosser, was married. The other, Elizabeth, moved into the Elms and took up management of the estate. She continued to lease Acton Ponds, but sold Bank House in 1837. When she died in 1842 the estate comprised 169 acres.

        The estates were left to a distant relative, Charles Gray Round of Birch Hall in Essex. The Rounds leased out the Elms, and sold Daycroft in 1889. They continued to lease Acton Ponds, buying the freehold in 1877. They sold the ponds to the Council in 1903, while other parts of the Elms estate were also sold off.
