Other was appointed Custos Rotulorum (CR) for Worcestershire (keeper of the Rolls) in
1710 and Lord Lieutenant for Cheshire and the counties of North Wales in 1713. Other
would lose both offices when George I (1660 - 1727) came to the throne: The first to
Lord Somers, a keen Protestant, who was Lord Chancellor under William III, an architect
of the union of England and Scotland and a fervent promoter of the Protestant Succession
which came about in 1714. Other would be succeeded by the 1st earl of Cholmondeley
as Lord Lieutenant. Cholmondeley himself had had something of a roller coaster career.

Stuarts.

It was through Elizabeth that St Fagans castle came into the Windsor family. The third
creation of the earls of Plymouth used it as a summer home. In 1947 the family gave it to
the national Museum of Wales since when it has become St Fagans Natural History
Museum. As such it is well worth a visit, the house contains some artefacts that came from
Hewell, when the last named was turned into a Borstal.
