Martha, the executrix of his will, died in March, 1677. The property 

 appears to have been broken up about 1669, Thomas Hulbert, the son 

 of George Hulbert, being in embarrassed circumstances, partly owing to 

 the non-receipt of his rents during the Civil War. The house is a very 

 interesting example of a not very large gentleman's house of the time 

 of Charles the First.

Wiltshire in 1906. The Devizes Gazette, Jan. 3rd and 10th, 1907, 

 has, as usual, a good summary of county events during the year, including 

 most useful lists of changes of incumbencies, and of work done in the way 

 of restoration or additions to the Churches of the county as well as of 

 additions to Nonconformist buildings. This annual resume of the 

 history of the county is compiled with much care and includes under 

 one or other head some mention of almost everything of local interest 

 that has happened during the year. It is by no means an easy matter 

 to put together a county summary on this scale.
