Scadbury, along with Chislehurst Manor was sold to Sir Richard Bettenson in 1665. Succeeded by his son Sir Edward Bettenson, the properties of both were heavily mortgaged. After the death of Sir Edward his three sisters owned the estates jointly, the manor courts held in their names. A grandaughter of Sir Richard Bettenson, Albinia, had married General William Selwyn. Her son, John Selwyn, purchased the Lordships of both Manors and discharged the mortgage. He sold the estates to his cousin Thomas Farrington, just retaining Scadbury. Albinia's granddaughter, also called Albinia, married the Hon. Thomas Townshend, and after the death of John Selwyn his sons agreed to settle the Scadbury estate on Townsend. Intending to build a new house on the site, Thomas had the old manor house demolished, however, the early death of his wife Albinia at the age of twenty five caused him to give up the project. He purchased Frognal House in 1752 where the family was to remain until the First World War. Townshend died in May 1780, aged 78.Their son Thomas, later owner of Scadbury, became a prominent politician and was created Viscount Sydney in 1789. In fact Sydney in Australia is named after him.
