The Australian press was very much more excited at the news, and three camera crews appeared outside the new peer's block of flats at Elanora Villas, Bunbury, before more reporters arrived by helicopter. Soon after inheriting the Earldom, the new peer travelled to England, where he was warmly received by (among others) leading citizens of the
city of Lincoln
. The story was soon
fictionalized as a storyline in the Australian soap opera
Neighbours.[1]

Lord Lincoln later wrote an autobiography called Memoirs of
an Embryo Earl, published in 1992.[2]
Although he began the formal legal procedures to establish his
right to the title and thus to claim a seat in the House of Lords,
these processes were never completed.[1] On a
visit to England he visited the College of Arms and was briefed
on the working of the Upper House by Lord Deedes,
stating his intention to sit on the
Conservative benches there.[1] However, as a
result of the House of Lords Act 1999, an automatic seat no
longer awaited him, as all but 92 hereditary peers were
thereby removed from Parliament. He died in Australia on 7 July
2001.

Eleanor née Howson. The present Earl, Robert, is a Fellow of the
