The DiCamillo Companion - Database:  History, Gardens, Movies William (Billy) Coke, the nephew of the 1st Earl of Leicester of the 2nd creation (Coke of Norfolk) goes down in history as the inventor of the bowler hat. The collection was formed by the 1st Earl (of the first creation) and contains the ancient Greek bust of Thucydides, one of the earliest portraits of man (circa 4 B.C.).

Talk:Thomas Coke, 1st Earl of Leicester of Holkham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia However its link to the Thomas Coke of agricultural fame contained the disambiguator (2nd creation), and that is apparantly because, believe it or not, he is the second '1st Earl of Leicester' to be called 'Thomas Coke'. This gentleman was not an "Earl of Leicester" but rather the first "Earl of Leicester of Holkham": the article probably belongs at Thomas Coke, 1st Earl of Leicester of Holkham. I neither know (nor to be honest care) enough about the minutiae of the way British aristocratic titles work to know whether the two different ways the Earl of Leicester article uses creation ordinals is reasonable or not. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Talk:Thomas_Coke,_1st_Earl_of_Leicester_of_Holkham   (1320 words)

Country Life : Nature An ancestor of Lord Leicester, Thomas William Coke, 1st Earl of Leicester of the second creation, who built Holkham Hall between 1734 and 1762, was painted as a young man with his spaniels by Gainsborough. The Montagus of Beaulieu have traditionally kept spaniels, and Lady Molesworth St Aubyn, who owns a springer spaniel and a flatcoat labrador retriever, has 18th-century spaniels or spaniel types in family portraits and carved on a mantelpiece at her home in Cornwall. Spaniels owe their development to the great houses of Britain, even to the point of taking on their names, as with the Blenheim spaniel and the Clumber spaniel. www.countrylife.co.uk /lifecountry/animals/feat138c.php   (398 words)
