- Colonel Hammond played a major role in the earlier English Civil Wars, first as a military leader in Cromwell?s New Model Army, then as the gaoler of the King between November 1647 and November 1648. For denying the king the chance to escape the Isle of Wight, Robert was considered after his death in 1654 one of 20 deceased regicides whose lands were confiscated and never restored by King Charles II after the restoration. Despite this, his three girls by his second wife, Mary Hampden, were allowed to retain Willen Manor in Buckinghamshire, which remained in the family until they sold the estate in 1673 and fled the country.
