Sir Charles Ronald George Nall-Cain, Third Baron Brocket was nine when his father died. At 21, when his grandfather passed away he acquired the title Lord Brocket as well as the Brocket Hall mansion, a crumbling ruin at the time. Despite the title and the mansion, Brocket was left penniless. British banks refused to loan him money, but an American bank came through loaning Brocket enough to restore the hall. The Hall located in Hertfordshire is worth an estimated £42 million and is currently a beautiful hotel and conference venue.
After the classic car business collapsed, Brocket decided to destroy four of his classic Ferraris and reported a £4.5 million insurance claim. A rocky divorce and a wife who was addicted to pain killers didn't mix well. She ratted him out after she was arrested for forging drug prescriptions. He went to prison for conspiracy to fraud.
The mansion and estate are now rented out to guests and conference groups. The place is truly beautiful.Click below to see a few shots of the property.
