Previous Lords:
Members of the family of Harding were tenants of the manor of Harlington in the 15th and 16th centuries. A property consisting of a capital messuage called HARDINGS PLACE, with appurtenances in Woodend in Harlington, was acquired by William Harding on a twenty-one years' lease from the lords of the manor in 1530, and in 1538 the lease was extended thirty-one years from that date. In 1548 William Harding sold the remainder of the lease to Ralph Astrey, also of Woodend in Harlington, who appears to have purchased the reversion in fee of an estate in Woodend from Sir Thomas Cheney shortly afterwards. On the death of Ralph this Woodend estate passed to his son and heir Henry, who in 1612 married Mary daughter of William St. John of Bletsoe. In the inquisition taken on the death of Henry in 1630 his lands are described as a capital messuage in Harlington, and lands formerly Hardings, with other tenements, late parcel of Harlington Manor.
