There are many stories about past owners, residents and guests including Field Marshall Montgomery of WW2, Lady Gowrie, every Anglican Bishop of Tasmania from mid-19th century to early 21st century, endless Governor-Generals, the first Attorney General of Tasmania, a good selection of Archbishops of Canterbury and York, and so on.
