It was for sale in 1872; occupied by Clement Dale JP 1874-8 (There was a retired Judge from Madras (1806-1890) called Clement Dale but there is no evidence to connect him with the house (The Times, 26 Nov. 1890). For sale again in 1879; and the home of Lieutenant F. G. Innes Lillingston 1880-91. At this time the house was extended to accommodate Lillingston's growing family.In 1891 it was let for six months to Monsieur Auguste Pellerin, the owner of a new margarine factory being built in Northam, before being sold to Major Francis Bertram Dalrymple (1851-1932) of the Royal Artillery.
