The Homme estate was acquired from the crown by Thomas Kyrle in 1574. His son John was created a baronet and was twice
High Sheriff of Herefordshire. He was succeeded by his grandson and the latter by his eldest daughter Vincentia, who married
Sir John Ernle, son of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer. Their daughter Constantia married but had no children and the estate passed to her cousin's son, James Money, whose grandson
James added the Kyrle name to his own and was created a baronet. The estate passed down in the Money-Kyrle family for several generations until inherited by
Roger Money-Kyrle, who sold the estate, much reduced in size, to his uncle, the Reverend Cecil Money-Kyrle, vicar of Much Marcle. It then descended via Cecil's sister’s grandson, Vice-Admiral John Ernle Pope, to the family of the latter’s step-daughter who possess it today. During the
Second World War, Homme House was used as a hospital. ==References==
