Laura Silverman, 'I play the lottery twice a week': inside the crumbling 7,000-acre estate that one couple expects will cost millions to restore. The Telegraph. 19 June 2018 Yes No This article is primarily about the estate, so the marquess gets six sentences (out of sixty-one):
  • "Her husband, Charles, the 8th marquess, inherited the 7,000-acre estate in 2010.";
  • "The 8th Marquess is a former furniture maker; [...]";
  • "Lord Townshend grew up at Raynham Hall, playing hide and seek in the rooms and sliding down the stone staircase on a tray. Aged 17, he went to Australia, where he worked in restaurants and sold cars, returning three years later to find an unwelcoming stepmother. He was not to spend another night at Raynham until it passed into his hands."
  • "Lord Townshend is constantly coming up with ideas to put Raynham to work, such as offering rooms to visitors for the weekend and turning a wing into a university campus."
 ✘ No

Two sentences about the marquess ("Charles") out of fourty-three: "Four hundred years on, it’s still in the family, although the latest incumbent, Charles, the 8th marquess, isn’t a chancellor of the exchequer, agricultural innovator or midnight dueller, as were some of his ancestors: he’s a low-key livestock exporter turned furniture maker. And until he took over the estate on his father’s death in 2010, he hadn’t spent a night there since he was 17." ✘ No
