Frequently Asked Questions
The title
Yes, the title pack is based on a historic English Lord of the Manor title that supports the legal right to use the honorific title Lord or Lady. Within most legal jurisdictions, should you wish to change your honorific title to Lord or Lady (Lord or Lady of the Manor) then you can change this at any time, provided you do not intend to deceive or defraud another person or purport your title to be a peerage.
Yes, you can change your honorific title in most instances (this includes items such as stationery, tickets, reservations, membership cards, debit cards, credit cards, social media, employers, professional bodies etc). Please note, government documents which do not display any title such as all passports (and in some jurisdictions drivers licences) cannot be updated.
You are under no obligation to use the title or change personal documents; this is always a matter of personal choice.
Our title packs and associated title rights are based on a historic Lord of the Manor title and have no connection to The House of Lords or British peerages.
Yes you can. The title crest and estate crest are not heraldic coats of arms but can be used in a similar way by title pack holders to represent their personal connection to the title. These unique crests have been specially created to reflect the history of the title and the estate and have been hand painted exclusively for title pack holders.
The Estate
Yes, you can visit whenever you want. The estate is a beautiful 90 acre stretch of land situated on the west shore of Coniston Water and has been classified by Natural England as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). It is roughly four miles south of the village of Coniston, near the hamlet of Sunnybank.
Each title pack comes with 5 square feet of dedicated land within the estate. This is a personal land dedication and does not constitute a transfer of land ownership. The land is protected subject to the existing natural environment in the name of the title pack owners.
