from
Wikipedia
In 1882, the Priory was bought by Frederick Gordon, of Gordon Hotels, who converted it into a residential hotel.
In 1884, he built a house, ' Glenthorn ', in the Priory grounds for his family to live in.
On the front of the house was the Gordon Badge ( a flexed bow and arrow ) and motto Fortuna Sequatur, which means ' Let's Fortune Attend '.
Despite surviving two World Wars, the house is no longer standing.
Access to the hotel from London was not ideal, so Gordon had the railway line extended from Harrow to Stanmore for the convenience of his guests.
