Product Information
As well as being landowners in Nottinghamshire at Holme Pierrepont and Thoresby, the Pierreponts and their descendants acquired property in at least eight counties. Members of the family had military and naval experience, enjoyed sporting activity, travelled abroad and held political offices. Their strong-minded women included: a daughter whose broken marriage laid the way for modern divorce; another who introduced inoculation against smallpox; and a bigamous duchess.Product Identifiers
