Danbury Place

Danbury Place was in the Mildmay family until 1673, when John Mildmay died childless. His wife Mary then married Robert Cory, Archdeacon of Middlesex. She died in 1724; of the Cory children, only Elizabeth, who married William Fytche, survived to inherit, and Danbury Place passed to the Fytche family. In the next generation, Danbury Place passed in 1750 to William's younger son Thomas Fytche (1706–1777). He died without issue, and the house passed to his niece and adopted daughter Elizabeth, daughter of William Fytche who briefly was Governor of Bengal. In 1775 she had married Lewis Disney, who added Fytche to his name. Lewis Disney Fytche had five daughters with his wife, who died in 1787.…
