Sorrenson - 1907 - The Colonial Office had heard of an attempt by Lord Hindlip to secure by 'dummying' more than the maximum area of land allowed under the regulations. ........ The precedent created in Delamere's case could not be withheld from others. First to make use of it was Lord Hindlip. By judicious use of his wife's name Hindlip acquired 20,000 acres of Crown Land in the highlands by August 1905. Then he started to purchase privately held land in the highlands and, with W.J.P. Fawcus, applied for 200,000 acres in the Tana valley in the names of 20 dummies. The Tana scheme fell through.

Kenya Diary - Nakuru - 3rd Apr. 1906 ....... we lunched at Muhoroni and dined at Nakuru. Lord and Lady Hindlip joined the train at Njoro. He made a terrible noise on joining the train and generally got on everybody's nerves. She seemed equally anxious to proclaim her presence and was most suitably dressed, with a revolver in her belt and a sjambok in her hand. They both of them looked exactly what they are.

Playne - '.... The Hindlip and Fawcus Estate imported some time ago a thoroughbred English stallion, by name McDonell. On the score of breeding alone he should command attention ........ bred by Lord Cadogan. 

Playne - Hindlip and Fawcus Estates Ltd. - Some idea of the cost of clearing and ploughing land in BEA can be gathered from the figures which Mr A.E. Fawcus, of the Hindlip & Fawcus Estates, Ltd. has supplied. The company in question owns two farms - Kahawa Inchi Farm, Rewera, 960 acres, 18 miles from Nairobi, and Thika Farm, 5000 acres, 30 miles from Nairobi, both on the Fort Hall Road. Ploughing on these farms is done by oxen, while horses and donkeys are used for transport.. The work is done by contract. Stumping (clearing tree-stumps etc), clearing, ploughing, harrowing twice, and again cross-ploughing to a depth of 10 inches, cost Rs. 24 per acre. ......... There is also a very pretty waterfall on the farm and Mr Fawcus states that it is the idea of the company to make this property an ornamental show place of the Colony.

Playne - Kishobo Farm - Young as he is (he is only 32) Lord Hindlip has played his part in the development of the British Empire. First he served as an extra ADC to the Governor of Victoria, and then took part in the South African War. He has travelled extensively in Abyssinia, Canada, and the East, and his love of adventure and big game shooting led him into EA Protectorate, and since then no name has been more prominently connected with the rapid development of the Protectorate. His interest in all things East African is shared by his wife, a great-granddaughter of the second Marquess of Bath. She is said to be the only lady in English Society who has succeeded in shooting a giraffe. It was in the year of her marriage to Lord Hindlip (1904) that Kishobo Farm was taken up. It belongs to the Hindlip and Fawcus Estates Ltd. of which Lord Hindlip and Mr W.J.P. Fawcus were the joint founders. The farm, which extends to 27,000 acres is managed by Mr Derwent Fawcus. It reaches from Njoro Station to Nakuru Station, with 7 miles of frontage on the Nakuru Lake, and the railway borders most parts on the north side. There is a comfortable dwelling-house about 2 miles from Njoro Station, while stables have been built of wood and iron, with cement floors and there are also a number of sheds built with cedar slabs and iron roofs. ........... There is a wattle plantation at Nakuru, of which Mr R. Fawcus is manager. The following properties also belong to the firm: 5,000 acres in the South Molo district, for cattle rearing; 3,000 acres at Londiani, with a railway frontage of 12 miles; a plantation of 800 acres on the railway at Mazeras; 5,000 acres on the Thika for sisal .......... ; and 640 acres at Rewera, used for a coffee plantation and sisal nursery.

Sportsmen - Charles Allsopp, 3rd Baron Hindlip, of Hindlip Hall, Worcester, son of the 2nd Baron, was born on September 22nd 1877, and educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he obtained the degree of BA. For some years his lordship held a commission in the 3rd Batt. Worcester Regt., and served in the South African War with the 8th Hussars, for which he received the Queen's medal and 3 clasps. His lordship is fond of polo and shooting and is a regular follower of the Meynell hounds. It is, however, in travel and big game hunting that Lord Hindlip finds his greatest pleasure.

In 1902 he undertook an 8 months trip to Abyssinia, which was followed by and 8 months shoot in British East Africa. The year following his lordship visited Sardinia for moufflon shooting, and the same year returned to Africa, spending some months in British and German territory with Lady Hindlip, who nearly always accompanies him. In 1905 and 1906 his lordship spent 7 months in British East Africa, where he is interested in farming. In all these hunting expeditions he has experienced sport of high quality, and his collection of trophies, which includes 52 varieties, is a very handsome one.

In 1907 in the Cassiar district of British Columbia he obtained, in addition to caribou and moose, some handsome heads of the black bighorn (ovis canadensis fannini); other specimens of big game also mentioned in Rowland Wards's "Records" include a fine giraffe, shot by Lady Hindlip in British East Africa. His lordship has shot in Spain and in 1911 he visited the Lillooet district of British Columbia where good sport was obtained. In 1904 his lordship married Agatha, 2nd daughter of Mr John Thynne, and has 2 sons and 2 daughters. His social clubs are th Turf and Carlton.
