I keep my bees at Hanbury Hall in the village of Hanbury in Worcestershire (http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/hanbury-hall/) which is now owned by the National Trust. When it was still in private hands it was owned by the Vernon family (http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/hanbury-hall/history/page-1/). Lady Georgina Vernon (1840 - 1928) was one of the family who lived at the property who was reputed to be a beekeeper.

Out of interest, as the current beekeeper, I did some investigation to find out about Lady Georgina's involvement with beekeeping and any mention of Hanbury and beekeeping, the rest of this post shows my findings.
