The farm had evolved from the local estate, "Eia" which was mentioned in the Domesday Book. In the 16th century Ebury Farm covered 430 acres and its farmhouse stood where Victoria coach station is now. The estate was regularly leased by the Crown until James I sold the freehold in 1623. Hugh Audley purchased the manor and it descended in 1666 to his grand-niece Mary Davies. Eleven years later Mary married Sir Thomas Grosvenor of Eaton in Cheshire. While she went mad and he died young, the Grosvenor family profitably developed the land. TUM image id: 1483984627 Licence:
