Lord Dufferin

Lord Dufferin - another statesman who, as our Ambassador to many countries merited a similar title – lived next door, at No. 9, in 1866.

A subsequent holder of the title was also born here.

Lord Haversham

Lord Haversham, who occupied the house around the beginning of the 20th century, stated that Lord Cowper, who inhabited it until 1882 (the year in which Lord Haversham succeeded him there), bought the panelling of the dining room in Paris at an auction after it was removed from the Hotel de Finances to escape destruction during the Commune. Part of it was moved to Lord Cowper's subsequent residence in St. James's Square, and the rest remained in situ.
