Lord Robert Crawley is the fictional Earl of Grantham in the TV show @downtonabbey_official his family seat is Downton Abbey in real life @highclere_castle Grantham the place however has no Earl! No aristocratic family ruling over the land. Well not much.... David Manners is the 11th Duke of Rutland. His family seat is @belvoircastle situated in Grantham in Leicestershire. So although his grace does not hold the title of Earl of Grantham he is the nearest thing the area has to a very real life Earl of Grantham. #aristocrats #aristocrat #aristocracy #nobility #britishnobility #earlofgrantham #lordgrantham #highclerecastle #grantham #dukeofrutland #belvoircastle #earldom #dukedom #hislordship #hisgrace #houseoflords #statelyhome #countryhouse #manorhouse #lordofthemanor #aristocratic #downtonabbey #hughbonneville #blog #blogger #influencer #influencerlife #bloggerlife #nobleman #ducal (at Charfield, South Gloucestershire) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByYevjGg7QU/?igshid=sb11eymxee7j

Hugh Cecil Lowther the 5th Earl of Lonsdale. Known affectionately as ‘Lordy’ he was an eccentric and flamboyant character who has become something of a legend amongst the English aristocracy. Lord Lonsdale was also known as ‘The Yellow Earl’ due to his penchant for all things yellow! His household servants livery consisted of bright yellow waistcoats and socks. He drove a yellow Rolls Royce and the AA the organisation he originally founded even adopted yellow as its colour. The Earl lived an extravagant life and will go down in aristocratic history as one of life’s remarkable eccentrics. #aristocrat #aristocracy #nobility #britishnobility #earloflonsdale #yellow #yellowearl #earldom #aristocratic #eccentric #flamboyant #eccentricgent #gentry #landedgentry #countryhouse #countryestate #lord #lordofthemanor #hislordship #mylord #noble #nobleman #lonsdale #peer #peerage #aa #theaa #aabreakdown #aristocrats #britishsociety (at Charfield, South Gloucestershire) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByVj3ipAwc2/?igshid=l8gzcdrheqe5

This is Lord James Griffiths Dearden. Lord of the Manor of Rochdale. Born 1849 died 1917. Lord of the manor is a title given to a person holding the lordship of a manor in the Anglo-Saxon system of manorialism which emanated from feudalism in English and Irish history. In modern England and Wales, it is recognised as a form of property, one of three elements of a manor that may exist separately or be combined, and may be held in moieties Historically a lord of the manor could either be a tenant-in-chief if he held a capital manor directly from the Crown, or a mesne lord if he was the vassal of another lord. The origins of the lordship of manors arose in the Anglo-Saxon system of manorialism. In medieval times the manor was the nucleus of English rural life. It was an administrative unit of an extensive area of land. The whole of it was owned originally by the lord of the manor. He lived in the big house called the manor house. Attached to it were many acres of grassland and woodlands called the park. These were the “demesne lands” which were for the personal use of the lord of the manor. Dotted all round were the enclosed homes and land occupied by the “tenants of the manor”. #aristocrat #aristocracy #aristocratic #britishnobility #nobility #hislordship #lord #mylord #manorhouse #countryhouse #countrymanor #lordofthemanor #rochdale #manchester #manorial #feudal #countrygent #countrysquire #aristocratlife #mansion #mansionhouse #blog #blogger #writer #historian #nobleman #bloggerlife #bristolblogger #historyfacts #charfieldmanor (at Charfield, South Gloucestershire) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByS6X4HgwH3/?igshid=3x41trpjnd0n
