Hobart Bedroom - This Bedroom is named after the First MP for Marlow.
In 1628 in the reign of Charles I, Sir Miles Hobart, whose father had purchased Harleyford in 1599, was MP for Marlow.
In the Commons on March 2nd, a set of resolutions, to which the King objected, were being debated. It became clear that King Charles was about to dissolve Parliament before the resolutions could be passed. This would have been fatal to the cause of reform. So Sir Miles locked the door of the House, either to keep the King's messenger out or to keep the more timid members in, and the resolutions were passed.
As soon as the House was dissolved, Sir Miles was arrested and imprisoned in the Tower, but eventually released. In 1632 Sir Miles was killed when his coach ran away going down Holborn Hill in London.
Parliament voted £500 to erect the monument to Sir Miles which today can be seen on the west wall of the vestibule of All Saints Parish Church Marlow.
Remnantz in West Street, Marlow was built in 1720. It is named after a successful Woolwich iron-founder called Stephen Remnant, who inherited it in 1756
Remnantz Bedroom - The house Remnantz (which originally had another wing and was three-storied) is of great interest, because from 1802 it housed the junior department of the Royal Military College. This college expanded so rapidly that it was removed to Sandhurst in 1812/13. The stables and cupola were designed in the style of Sir Christopher Wren as is Western House, a fine building with a gazebo at the end of the street.

Higginson Bedroom - Court Garden was put on the market in 1926, following the death of its owner. Some far-sighted townspeople, fearing the estate might be split up and "developed", were able to raise the money to buy land on behalf of the town. 1926 was also the year of the hundredth birthday of Marlow's Crimean War veteran, General Sir George Higginson.
Princess Mary, the Princess Royal and the General's goddaughter, presented the deeds of Court Garden to the General as a birthday gift from the town (although he had himself contributed to purchase them) and he immediately handed them back to the town. This is how Marlow's townspeople and its visitors came to be able to enjoy the splendid facilities of Court Garden and Higginson's Park.
Following his retirement from the army, Sir George became chairman of the governors of Sir William Borlase's School, chairman of the directors of Marlow Water Company, vice president of Marlow Regatta, vice president of Marlow Institute and Horticultural Society, president of the Marlow British Legion branch and vice president of the Marlow Cottage Hospital. In 1926 the General reached his 100th birthday and it was only a few months later, in February 1927, that he died.
