Teversal Manor

[3] The estate descended to Sir Francis Molyneux, 7th Baronet (1738-1812), who was a courtier who became Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod.

On his death, unmarried, his estates at Teversal and Wellow passed to his nephew Henry Howard, who adopted the surname Molyneux-Howard and died in 1824.

The Carnarvons retained possession of the house until the death of Henry, the 4th Earl's wife, Elizabeth Catherine (née Howard), in 1929.

[5] Their son George Herbert, 5th Earl of Carnarvon, and his wife Almina were associated with Howard Carter and funded the excavations of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922.

[7] The Manor was visited by Virginia Woolf in 1904,[8] and is believed to be the basis of the fictional Wragby Hall in D. H. Lawrence's 1928 novel Lady Chatterley’s Lover.
