See Andrew Underwood's Ampthill, A Goodly Heritage, which uses (BCRO ref. BS 224). This Abstract of Title shows that the house was owned & occupied by Humphrey Iremonger (Childen baptised at Millbrook 1628-1634 .His first child at Ampthill was baptised in 1637. He was buried there 22 January 1658). In the 1671 Hearth Tax it was recorded as having 10 Hearths and occupied by William Taylor.
The Iremonger family sold the house to Simon Urlin on 16 January 1676 (1677). The house was remodelled in 1725 by Simon Urlin, the son. The joint estates of father and son were used to pay off debts on latter's death in 1746. The house was purchased by a relation, John Gay . On his death in 1762, it was sold to David Brodie for £800. In 1771, it became the property of George Pauncefoot and was for many years callled Paucefoot Lodge.
