A brief insight into the history of the Barony of North Cadbury
The Barony of North Cadbury is one of the oldest feudal baronies of England, whose rich history goes back to William the Conqueror.
Baron of North Cadbury is a feudal title in the Baronage of England. The current holder of the title and current Baron, Jörg Hubert Dumke de Newmarch succeeded to the hereditary Barony title as 6th Baron of North Cadbury in 2011, granted by legal authorities and Deed of Conveyance. Lord de Newmarch holds the legal rights to the hereditary Barony of North Cadbury. The name of the barony refers to Cadbury (Cadeberie) in the county of Somerset and was the caput, means the seat, of the extensive fiefdom or barony.
The Barony of North Cadbury, together with the Manor of [North] Cadbury, which was attached to the Barony was recorded in Domesday Book of 1086 as 'Cadeberie' and held as part of the considerable Barony of Turstin FitzRolf, the first Baron. The Barony is also listed in the Cartae Baronum, the 'Charters of the Barons'. This was a survey commissioned by the treasury in 1166.
The Barony has an interesting and fascinating history and is kept alive by the current custodians, Jörg Hubert and Regina Dumke de Newmarch, 6th Baron and Baroness of North Cadbury.
