Simon Patrick (1626–1707), the Bishop of Chichester (1689–1691) and Bishop of Ely (1691–1707), purchased an estate at Dalham in December 1702, and commissioned the building of Dalham Hall. John Affleck Esq. acquired the estate from the Bishop’s widow in 1714. After passing through his family, Cecil Rhodes bought it in 1901 on the evidence of photographs, and tales of its game shooting prowess. After he died in 1902 before taking possession, his brother and his family lived in the hall, and erected a hall in the village in Cecil Rhodes' memory.
The estate was bought in 1928 by Laurence Philipps, a shipping magnate who established what became known as the Dalham Hall Stud.
In 1981 Major Jim Philipps sold the stud to Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates. After the major died in 1984, the estate was held in trust by his heirs until July 2009, when it was sold for £45 million to Sheikh Mohammed via estate agents Bidwells.
