The marriage took place at Perlethorpe Church, Thoresby Park. They had four children. Amongst them, Lady Maud Lygon, later to become Lady Maude Hoare. (July 1882 – December 1962). This makes Maud the granddaughter of the 3rd Earl Manvers.

She was a resident at Cockglode in the late 1930s, by which time she had become quite a celebrity. The 1937 Pathe News footage above shows Lady Maude launching the Arc Royal at Birkenhead. As the wife of Sir Samuel Hoare, British Air Minister, she made a 12,000-mile round trip flight inaugurating the London-Cairo-Delhi air service. The first woman ever to fly so many miles, she was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE).
