| History of ownership/residents and use | Henry Revell, a senior merchant in the East India Company, owned Roundoak in the late eighteenth century. His widow, Frances, outlived him, dying there in 1803 aged 87. Their sons Henry and Joseph were also in the East India Company and Joseph at least spent time living at Roundoak with his sisters Elizabeth and Frances. Elizabeth married John Read and their son Henry Read was granted Royal License to use the name and arms of Revell in 1809. Major Henry (Read) Revell died in 1847. It is safe to assume that the Revells were living abroad in 1831 as both their 3rd and 4th daughters got married in Agra on the 8th of October of that year. Thomas Rawdon Ward, Justice of the Peace, occupied the house at the time it was painted by Hassell and was still recorded as resident in the Topographical History of Surrey in 1842. |
