The Marley estate has had a long period of ownership by the Savery family from the mid-1500s lasting until 1711. The house was partly demolished and rebuilt in the 18th and 19th centuries and was occupied by several different families, ending with the Palks and the Carews. For most of the 20th Century it was occupied by an Order of Nuns, the Bridgettines and renamed by them as Syon Abbey. Marley House was restored and the Dower Houses added in 1990s, as a private gated estate of 17 dwellings which complement the Grade II* listed Manor House and extensive grounds, but each is unique internally.
