Marquis Bristol

The Hervey family lived on the Ickworth estate in Suffolk from the mid- 15th century to 1998 . Ickworth House was created at the end of the 18th century by the 4th Earl of Bristol. The traditional burial place of the Hervey clan is Ikworth Church, which is also located on the territory of their family estate. Many members of the clan are buried in the family tomb, beginning with Thomas Hervey (d. 1467 ), the first owner of the estate of Ikworth House , all the counts and marquises of Bristol, as well as many of their wives and daughters. In 1956, Alice Francis Theodora Hervey (1875-1957), widow of Frederick Hervey, 4th Marquis of Bristol (1863-1951), donated the family home and surrounding land, with the exception of the church, to the National Fund instead of paying inheritance tax. The Marquise Bristol family has been granted 99 years to lease the east wing of Ikworth House.

In 1998, John Hervey, 7th Marquis of Bristol (1954-1999), sold the remainder of the estate to the National Trust of Great Britain. He died a year later, wasting all his inherited fortune.
