Footnotes

Provenance:
Stapleford Park, Melton Mowbray.

In 1402 Stapleford Park was acquired from the Earl of Lancaster by Robert Sherard and remained in the Sherard family for the next 484 years. In 1894 the house was purchased by Lord Gretton, a wealthy brewer, who altered it and added a series of reception rooms and bedrooms. After his death in 1899 it passed to his son and then in 1982 to his grandson, the third Lord Gretton who decided to sell the house, but keep the estate. It is now a county house hotel.
