Excerpt from A Summary From Thomas Halsey of Hertfordshire, England, and Southampton, Long Island, 1591-1679, With His American Descendants to the Eighth and Ninth Generations: Summary and Additional Data of the Ninth, Tenth, and Eleventh Generations of the Halsey Family In the reign of Henry VIII, The Golden Parsonage Rectory was granted to William Halsey. Since then the estate has continued in the family and is now owned by Thomas Frederick Halsey, M. P. The earliest year in which John Halsey was known to be living at the parsonage is 1512. The grant from Henry VIII to William Halsey was one of a hundred similar grants made by that monarch after his suppression of monasteries. Great Gaddesden which also belonged to the Halsey family was a short distance from The Golden Parson age in Hertfordshire and about twenty-eight miles from London. Descendants of William Halsey for three hundred and fifty years have continued to live in the Hertfordshire estate. About 1773 was built by Thomas Halsey, the great grandfather of Thomas Frederick, the stately residence since occupied by his descendants, the architect being James Wyatt, who reared the royal buildings at Kew.
