'The fortune which supported Lord Rendelsham's building programme derived from his share of Peter Thellusson's fortune, in trust since 1797 and finally divided with his second cousin, Charles Sabine Augustus Thellusson of Brodsworth (Yorkshire), the other '"eldest male lineal descendant" under the terms of the notorious Thellusson will.'
