On this site stood the residence of the Hervey family.
Their house was completed in 1676 and occupied the following year by John Hervey, treasurer to Queen Catherine of Braganza, wife of King Charles II. In 1700 the property passed to his nephew, also John Hervey, who became Earl of Bristol in 1714. His descendants retained it until 1955.
The house was demolished in 1958 and has been twice replaced. The present building was completed in 2014.
