Bodrhyddan then passed via his daughter Penelope to the Stapletons and eventually by marriage to Rev.

The dean's eldest son was killed in a shooting accident and so the Hall passed to his grandson William, who adopted the surname Shipley-Conwy.

Lord Langford died at Bodrhyddan in 2017 at the age of 105 and was succeeded by his son Hon.
