House & Family History: Pitzhanger Manor was recast by Sir John Soane as country house for his family. It served as a library for much of the 20th century and is today a house museum run by a charitable trust. On March 22, 2007, at 2:50 AM, professional thieves stole 22 items from Pitzhanger, including a rare top of a replica Martinware fountain and several other unique pottery pieces.
