Congratulations to them both. Also under the present Earl, has severed
ties to the Country home called Shugborough House after surrounding
the lease to the private apartments there which his father, the late
Earl had and an island which he use to do alot of his famous works.

I am aware that the late earl surrendered the Country home to avoid
death duties on his grand father but retained a certain access such as
apartments and other aspects such as the island on the grounds of
Shugborough House.

I believe the Earl has also sold his Ranton Abbey estate and severed all the
family's ties with Staffordshire after he was refused planning permission
for building a new country house at Ranton, and has instead bought an estate
in Devon (which doesn't have a major house either).

If my memory is correct I think that the land in Staffordshire was
about 5,000 acres, does anyone know the size of the new estate of the
now seatless peer?
