At one stage, it was owned by the Knatchbull-Hugueson family. The widowed Constance Borgström née Paterson (from Finland) started to live there as renter in the 1890s. She was the widow of the wealthy Finnish businessman, consul Emil Borgström, one of the younger sons of Councillor Henrik Borgström and his wife Carolina née Kjemmer, and member of that important Finnish banking family who had been in contact with English business circles since Councillor Borgström was trained as a youth in a British merchant company in the very early 1800s. One of Constance's daughters, Sylvia McDougall née Borgström (a Finnish-born heiress who was married to a British man, Colonel Herbert McDougall), purchased the house and its land in 1912. Since then, the house has been inherited from mother to daughter. Sylvia McDougall's eldest daughter and heiress was Nadine McDougall (1908–2000), who became the second wife of Prince Andrew of Russia (1897–1981). He was the eldest son of Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich of Russia and Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna of Russia, eldest sister of the last Tsar. The house became Prince Andrew's main residence in exile from 1950.[2] The current owner is their daughter, Princess Olga Andreevna Romanoff.[2] She has three surviving children. During the ownership of Princess Olga, the house was refurbished in the 2000s by architect Ptolemy Dean.[2] References1. ^Provender House website 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 Historic Houses Association: Provender 3. ^{{NHLE|num=1374517|desc=Provender|access-date=16 November 2017|mode=cs2}} External links
