Brocket, Baron
2001
Lord [Baron Brocket] was driven to it by dwindling funds. And it was little surprise that the estate, already struggling financially, could not manage on its own. This forced them to accept an offer by Hong Kong-based global golf club developing giants CCA - whowere keen to make inroads into Europe - to take on Brocket Hall on a 60-year lease. While the full splendour of the 250-year-old hall itself has to be seen first hand, with its many superb works of art, the chief characters though in this weekend paradise are, in their second coming, Melbourne and [Palmerston]. Brocket Hall's MelbourneCourse had, by the time CCA came on board, already been built, in 1992, spectacularly circling the lake and in the shadow of the hall itself itself, under the supervision of BBC commentators turned golf course architects Peter Alliss and Clive Clark. If you have to break the bank to afford it, then find some more acceptable means of covering your debts than poor Lord Brocket did!

Living by seat of his pants ; Sex, the Army, prison and the ludicrous antics of a TV reality show have shaped the life of the outrageous Lord Brocket. David Charters reports
Almost instantly, Brocket the bounder was transformed into Brocket the love able rogue -- and there's business in buffoonery. So a TV career is opening up for the man who, when pressed for cash, had to lease his family seat, Brocket Hall in Hertfordshire, to a hotel chain. For this he receives an income. The house returns to the family in 2056. [Charles Ronald George Nall-Cain] was made a baronet in 1921. He had bought the 5, 000-acre Brocket Hall. Twelve years later, he was given a peerage in the New Year's Honours List and the first Lord Brocket took his bow.
