The elder Pitt, also Prime minster, Earl of Chatham died there. The house was demolished in 1933 and the site redeveloped, but roads in the area are named after them. It was sold in the 1930s to banker Eric Hambro and then demolished in 1933 for building by Sheffield builder Henry Boot who then built the Hayes Place Estate.
