Thames Bank was built about 1770 by Sarah Winford. Originally three storeys, the top storey was removed by Sarah or her daughter Harriot by the early 19th century. In 1811 the property was bought by Vice Admiral Sir James Nicoll Morris, who had commanded HMS Colossus at the battle of Trafalgar. His nephew Thomas Somers Cocks, a banker, extended the grounds. The house was gutted by fire in 1992 [Illustrations and photo] (B2).

Also a more sympathetic wing of c.1951 by H Courtenay Constantine. All damaged by fire in 1992 (B3).
