Wikipedia isn't much help. Just the fact that Singer Jay Kay from Jamiroquai resides at Horsenden.

Portrait of John Grubb. This may not be the John Grubb in question, but he seems a fine chap, in any case, Possibly the Father, or Grandfather.

John Grubbe sold it to the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos. The latter mortgaged it almost immediately, and the holders of the mortgage, the Norwich Union Office, foreclosed and sold it in 1842 or 1843 to the Rev. William Edwards Partridge, who held it till his death in 1886. The manor then passed into the possession of his daughter and heiress, Mrs. Leonard Jaques, the present owner of the manor.


I was going to ask some questions about the House and Manor, but I found out my answers already.

So I thought I'd post this for interest.:2fun:

British History Online.

Manor House of Princes Risborough.

.................was granted in 1671 to Lord Hawley in trust for the king's heirs and successors, until it was sold. This sale took place in the same year to Sir Peter Lely, the painter. Under the Commonwealth the manor of Princes Risborough, distinguished at this time as the King's Manor, came into the hands of Ralph Adeane. He held it in 1653 and 1655, and after the Restoration Thomas Adeane, a minor, was lord of the manor as heir of Ralph. In 1684, however, Edward Bigland and George Pelham appear to have been in seisin. In 1702 and in 1729 Henry Penton held this manor. In 1766 it was sold by the Penton family to John Grubbe of Horsenden. In the same year he, together with his next brother Samuel, sold it to Edward, the third brother. Edward's grandson John held the manor in 1813, (fn. 66)but in 1841 it was advertised for sale by auction. It was, however, purchased privately by the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos on the day previous to the sale. The duke's lands were sold very shortly after the purchase of this manor, which, in 1862, was in the hands of Mr. James Cuddon. At the present day Mr. Humphrey Brill, of Aston Clinton, claims to be lord of the manor of Princes Risborough.
