It was extended in the middle of the 19th century by Sir Robert Throgmorton, Baronet, who kept his yacht in the bay. The estate was sold at auction in 1900 when it still owned more than 2,000 acres. The scheme in the 19th century was to develop, in a spectacular location, individual houses for wealthy Londoners who would travel down by steamer. The jetty was built and the remains can still be seen to this day. Thankfully none of the other houses were built so Martinhoe Manor is able to enjoy its privacy and seclusion.
