Denis Anthony Brian Butler, 9th Earl of Lanesborough (28 October 1918 – 21 December 1998), was an Anglo-Irish soldier, peer, and landowner.
The lodge and demesne were located on a small peninsula on the shores of Upper Lough Erne, directly opposite County Fermanagh.
[2] In 1950, Lanesborough inherited from his father, the 8th Earl, Swithland Hall, Leicestershire and an estate of 3,000 acres (1,200 ha).
[2] Lord Lanesborough's hobby was a 600-foot model railway, a replica of the Fort William-to-Carlisle line, with 300 pieces of rolling stock which had to be dismantled and sold to help pay death duties.
[citation needed] On 20 December 1939, as Lord Newtown-Butler, Lanesborough married Bettyne Ione Everard, a daughter of Sir William Lindsay Everard, and they had two daughters: Georgina Ione Butler (15 August 1941 – 28 December 1947) and Lady Denyne Butler (born 23 February 1945).
