Hundred House was built on land that was until 1823 Princes Risborough Common. (This was not for the use of those in Lacey Green, but for animals walked up from Princes Risborough to graze.)
The Enclosures of the Manor of Princes Risborough took place in 1823. The Enclosing did away with the Manor owned arable lands and the Common grazing. The Common was divided and sold.
John Grubb purchased a large part of the Common which held The Windmill and Windmill Farm to about half way along Pink Road and all the way back to what was later to become Kiln Lane. He gave part of this to be Glebe Land to provide an income for Lacey Green Church.
It was on this Glebe land that Hundred House was built.
(The School House nearby was built by the church with the proceeds of the sale that followed the closure of Loosley Row School. This became the house for the head of Lacey Green School)
