Elevate Your Status – Become a Lord or Lady of the Manor

For those wishing to make their evening truly unforgettable, an exclusive opportunity awaits to be welcomed into The Tudor Court as an official Lord or Lady of the Manor.

This prestigious title package offers far more than a memorable keepsake. It allows the recipient to adopt the distinguished title of Lord or Lady and, in many cases, update personal documents accordingly. Included within the package is five square feet of dedicated land within the beautiful Hougun Manor Estate, creating a tangible and lasting connection to your title and estate.

Each beautifully presented package contains a personalised title certificate elegantly embossed with gold foil, an Honorific Title Legal Deed supporting official title updates, a personalised welcome letter, crest postcard, estate brochure and luxury presentation folder.

The highlight of the experience comes during the evening itself. Before fellow guests, you will be formally welcomed into The Tudor Court by the Tudor monarch in a unique ceremonial presentation. Using a ceremonial sword, the King will bestow your title in a memorable courtly ceremony befitting the grandeur of the Tudor age, transforming you from honoured guest to recognised member of the Court.
This is a gift that continues long after the candles have burned low and the music has faded from the Great Hall.

Not everyone may enter court as nobility. This is your opportunity to leave as a Lord or Lady of the Manor.

Lordship title £35.00

Ladyship title £35.00

Joint title £45.00

(Joint titles are Lord and Lady, Lord and Lord, and Lady and Lady)
