The property was once owned by Frank Laughton, the brother of renowned actor Charles Laughton, who, reputedly, would visit and spend time in the peaceful gardens to escape the pressures of Hollywood.
Charles was born in Scarborough on July 1, 1899, when his parents Robert and Eliza Laughton lived in the town and ran a hotel. Both Frank and Charles (before his acting career) and eldest brother Tom, like their parents, were successful in the hotel business.
