On 27 March 1782, the Home Office was formed by renaming the existing Southern Department, with all existing staff transferring.

On the same day, the Northern Department was renamed the Foreign Office. To match the new names, there was a transferring of responsibilities between the two Departments of State. All domestic responsibilities were moved to the Home Office, all foreign matters became the concern of the Foreign Office.

William Milford Teulon was an English architect. Teulon was born in 1823 in Greenwich, the son of a cabinet-maker from a French Huguenot family, he followed his elder brother Samuel Sanders Teulon in becoming an architect. He travelled across continental Europe 1847–48. William Teulon's only identified original work was the design and execution of a substantial country house and ancillary buildings such as the coach house and stables at Overstone Northamptonshire for Samuel Jones Loyd in 1862-4. Chiefly the house was Lady Overstone's idea. In his published Correspondence Lord Overstone decried the architect alike. "We have fallen into the hands of an architect whose incapacity is the least of his faults," he wrote to a friend in 1863. His wife died while the house was nearing completion in 1864, he lived out much of the remainder of his life at Lockinge House Berkshire, the home of his daughter Harriet and her husband Robert Lindsay V. C. made Lord Wantage in 1885. Overstone House was on the receiving end of much critical opprobrium from at least two noted architectural historians, Nikolaus Pevsner in his Buildings of England Northamptonshire, Mark Girouard in The Victorian Country House, Yale University Press 1979.

It was listed by the Department of the Environment at Grade II in 1983, principally for its – 1860s – novel cavity-wall construction. The House was all but destroyed by fire on 21 April 2001, it is still a roofless ruin in 2019, several schemes for its rehabilitation having fallen through. There is a current planning application for reconstruction and conversion to 14 apartments pending at Daventry District Council. Teulon founded Churchyard Protection Society, he was involved in the restoration of a number of churches including St Matthias Old Church, where the puritan character of this Commonwealth church was altered through cladding in Kentish Ragstone and the removal of the preaching box. Teulon was involved in landscaping at Althorp, Gunton Park and Overstone Park
