Someone had asked about this :

Papplewick hall has somewhat of a political history. The Right Hon. Frederick
Montagu, some time a Lord of the Treasury, built it in 1787; but for 30 years
it has been the residence of Mr. H. F. Walter, J.P. to whose family the
nation is indebted for the establishment and development of the powerful and
unrivalled organ of public opinion- the Times newspaper. For 18 years
Nottingham was represented in Parliament by a Walter-first by Mr. John
Walter, and afterwards by his son-and the political history of the borough is
inseparably bound up with the stirring contests in which they were honourably
engaged.

Hope this helps the person asking.
