Re: Little Grove, East Barnet, Hertfordshire: "In 1719 John Cotton erected a house which he called New Place. This name was soon abandoned, and the former one resumed. John Cotton sold this house in 1733 to John Deane, and he in 1734 to John Sharpe, whose son and heir, Fane William Sharpe, sold it in 1767 to Edward Willes, a judge, who bequeathed it to his wife Anne, who sold it in 1794 to John Tempest, who dying without issue in the same year left Little Grove by will to his wife Anne (Townshend), who added considerably to the estate and erected a chapel in the courtyard in which divine service was held for the first time on 12 April, 1801. The executors of the will of Mrs Anne Tempest sold it in 1819 for the benefit of her nephews Gore and William Townsend, to Thomas Wilson, who sold it in 1827 to Frederick Cass of Beaulieu".
