Houghton Hall in Norfolk was left to him by his grandmother, the Dowager Marchioness, at her death in January 1990, and Cholmondeley Castle, the 9,000-acre family seat in Cheshire, came to him two months later when his father, the Fifth Marquess of Cholmondeley, died.

Caption: Christie's has won a case at the Court of Appeal in London against a ruling that it was negligent to catalogue these two vases as 'Louis XV'.
Taylor Lynne Thomson, who bought them for 2 million [pounds sterling] at the Marquess of Cholmondeley's sale in 1994, sued Christie's for negligence last year after analysis suggested the possibility of a nineteenth-century date, which would have greatly reduced the vases' value.
The key appeal decision is that an auction house need not qualify a lot description with the word 'probably' as long as the evidence that might raise such a doubt has been dismissed after sensible evaluation.
