During the 18th century, some of the immediate estate surrounding Hendon Place was auctioned off for large houses, with much of the land being used for building other mansions. Of these, Hendon Hall (later a hotel owned by [[Hand Picked Hotels]] but now demolished), built in 1756 at the corner of Ashley Lane, was the last remaining and perhaps the best known. The suggestion that [[David Garrick]], the actor, lived here while he was [[lord of the manor]] (1765–1779) is without foundation. A small obelisk in the hotel garden dedicated to [[William Shakespeare]] and [[David Garrick]] originally stood in Manor Hall Road until 1957. A ceiling painting by [[Giovanni Battista Tiepolo|Tiepolo]], ''Olympia and the Four Continents'', was uncovered in 1954,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,860669,00.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101116212547/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,860669,00.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=16 November 2010 |title=Art: Olympus in the Lounge |magazine=[[Time (magazine)|Time]]}}</ref> and is now in the Met;<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.metmuseum.org/works_of_art/collection_database/european_paintings/allegory_of_the_planets_and_continents_giovanni_battista_tiepolo/objectview.aspx?collID=11&OID=110002243|title=Allegory of the Planets and Continents|publisher= Metropolitan Museum}}</ref> but two other large ceiling paintings are still in the house.

A Mr. Somerville laid out Waverley Grove and Tenterden Grove in the 1860s, and by the end of the 19th century the estate saw further development by C.F. Hancock, including houses. On Parson Street, St Swithans was for many years a convent and training house of the [[Sisters of Nazareth]]. It is now a Jewish School. Further north is Holders Hill House, now [[Hasmonean High School]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hasmonean.co.uk/ |title=Hasmonean High School |publisher=Hasmonean.co.uk |access-date=2011-06-30}}</ref>
