The Ambassador to [[Charles I of England|Charles I]], negotiating the secret treaty of 1631 with Spain, who had good knowledge of the country, was raised to the peerage as [[Baron Cottington]] of Hanworth, referring to his Hanworth Park estate, receiving the honour 'at Greenwich in a very solemn manner.' As the Civil War drew near he declared himself an active Royalist, and after hostilities had broken out he joined the king at Oxford. He was excepted by Parliament from 'indemnity and composition', and spent the remainder of his life abroad, dying in Spain in 1652. His estates were assigned in 1649 to [[John Bradshaw (judge)|John Bradshaw]] who had earlier insisted on Charles's execution and were recovered at the [[English Restoration]] by his nephew and heir Charles Cottington who sold it in 1670 to [[Sir Thomas Chamber]].

Chamber died in 1692, and was succeeded by his son Thomas. Thomas Chamber left two daughters and co-heiresses, and Hanworth passed, through agreement on marriage of the elder, to Vere Beauclerk, who was created [[Baron Vere]], of Hanworth in 1750. The manor was inherited by his son and heir, Aubrey, in 1781, who succeeded his cousin as [[Duke of St. Albans]] six years later but who sold it shortly after 1802 to James Ramsey Cuthbert. Frederick John Cuthbert was lord of the manor in 1816 from whom it passed to [[Henry Perkins (brewer)|Henry Perkins]]. After the death of his heir Algernon Perkins it passed to a firm of solicitors, and the main home was acquired in the early part of the next century by Court of Appeal judge turned politician [[Ernest Murray Pollock, 1st Viscount Hanworth]].
