The original moated manor on the site was called Fair Lane and belonged in the 17th century to Sir Henry Vane the Younger.

In the 20th century the estate was owned by Sir Peter Cazalet who trained horses owned by the Queen Mother who was a regular overnight visitor. The current owner is Prince Khalid Abdullah of Saudi Arabia.

In 2011 the Prince attempted to close a public footpath across the estate but local residents rebelled and, supported by local Ramblers, won an appeal to the Planning Inspectorate to keep it open.
