Lyttelton Inherits Noel Estates After Bell Hall Death
General Sir Neville Lyttelton, commander in chief in Ireland, narrowly inherits the Bell Hall Noel estates on Charles Noel’s death without issue. The Noel family ties stretch to Tudor times, with the Lytteltons long established neighbors at Hagsey, and the two houses share deep kinship and historic connections to Lord Cobham and Gladstone. The Noels claim the estate should pass to a distant squire, but the will favors Lyttelton, heightening a storied house feud.
