Thomas Howard, 3rd Viscount Howard of Bindon

He was described by Lloyd as 'very spiteful and a cauldron of misdirected energy'.

[2] He succeeded to the viscountcy in 1590, upon the childless death of his elder brother, Henry.

The title became extinct when he died in 1611 without male children.

In 1607 he described the building as a conception of his own mind, and wrote to Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury crediting his part in origins of the design;"If this little pile in Lulworth Park shall prove pretty or worth the labour bestowed in the erecting of it, I will acknowledge, as the truth is, that your powerful speech to me at Bindon laid the first foundation of the pile in my mind, which ever since has laboured for a speedy finishing for the contentment of those for whose further liking of that place the care is taken".
