Sir Richard Brooke, baronet, lord of the manor of Acton Grange, owner of Norton Priory estates
Dates: Nineteenth-century holder; exact identification among the successive baronets is not fully resolved by the Acton Grange-specific sources
Biography
The Acton Grange-specific nineteenth-century sources identify Sir Richard Brooke as lord of the manor, exercising courts, and as owner of Norton Priory estate land in Acton-Grange. The evidence consulted does not justify assigning a particular baronetcy number to this record.
Notes / Sources
The 1885 Act proves continuing ownership of Norton Priory estate land in Acton-Grange, while the 1839 survey expressly proves the manorial lordship.
