Mrs Croft daughter of Henry Page moved to Fanhams Hall in 1880. She rebuilt the house in 1901. In 1878 she commissioned a new set of windows from Morris and Company. It remained as part of the estate until 1950 when it was sold to a bank.

I lived in Musley Lane, Ware with my grandparents from 1943 to 1946 when Fanhams Hall was still a private house, well known locally for the Japanese Garden. I continued to visit them until 1965. When I joined Westminster Bank as a junior trainee I went to Oaken Holt near Oxford rather than Fanhams because it was for training senior staff
The “bank” which acquired Fanhams Hall originally was Westminster Bank, which subsequently became part of National Westminster Bank. They used it as a training centre, mainly for inducting new members of staff. I attended a staff garden party there back in the early 1970’s which was held to commemorate its disposal to another commercial organisation.
