Notes

Langford Lodge came into the possession of the Pakenham family through Catherine Rowley who married Edward Michael Pakenham, 2nd Baron Longford and M.P. for Longford (1743 - 1792) in 1768. Heir was Sir Edward Pakenham (1778-1815). On his death Langford Lodge went to his brother General Sir Hercules Pakenham (1781-1850). On his death it went to his eldest son Edward William Pakenham (who died at The Battle of Inkerman in 1854) then to the Rev. Arthur Hercules Pakenham. Dying unmarried in 1895, the estate then passed to Colonel Hercules Arthur Pakenham.
