The Collection of Lady Glenconner
The 5th Earl of Leicester was a keen shot and held some of the most famous shoots at Holkham Hall. In her autobiography, Lady Glenconner recalls that shooting was 'really what my father and all his friends lived for. It was the main bond between the Cokes and the Royal Family, especially with Sandringham only ten miles away'.
