Old Peer Nevills Named For Warwick Kingmaker Line
An old peer celebrated his eighty eighth birthday. He owns property across seven counties and is a founder of the Constitutional club. A Nevill and Warwick kingmaker descendant, he holds 24 church livings and was known as a great shot and sportsman. A tale recalls Lord Abergavenny’s Yorkshire visit and a traveler noting the viscount’s heels buried in a badger’s den. Bridges of Nevills hold for six centuries, with Elizabeth staying six days at the old castle in 1573 during a period of Conservative concern and Abergavenny’s rise to a marquisate by 1876.
