  • 2025

Very interesting Obituary for Lord Donoughmore, published in The Times on Friday 9th May 2025 which details his life and achievements.
The Earl of Donoughmore, doctor and businessman, was born on August 8, 1927. He died on April 25, 2025, aged 97.
When he retired he moved to Bampton with his wife, Sheila, to be near Oxford’s John Radcliffe infirmary, because of her illness
He operated a home dialysis machine until she could receive a kidney transplant. He succeeded to his father’s titles in 1981 and sat in the House of Lords under the UK peerage Viscount Hutchinson, contributing to health debates but losing his seat after the House of Lords Act 1999 restricted the number of hereditary peers.
He became vice-president of St Luke’s Hospital, Oxford, and chaired Bampton parish council and other local charities. He raised funds to create the three-acre Bampton recreation ground and build its pavilion, saving the local church by finding over £400,000 to replace the roof.
Viscount Suirdale, Hely Hutchinson

Pat was tiny, so they are joking about her size. The Cottages are now combined into one.
