The Baronial Cypher of North Cadbury and the my Coat of Arms - two symbols inextricably linked to the historic feudal Barony and Manor of North Cadbury in Somerset.
The cypher is derived from ‘Cadeberie’ - 'C' for Cadeberie = Cadbury - the manor and seat of the barony in Somerset mentioned in the medieval Domesday Book, and is the official symbol of the Barony of North Cadbury. The baronial coronet symbolises the baron's dignity and authority within the barony.

Left the Domesday Book extract for the Manor and Barony of North Cadbury, formerly 'Cadeberie' and 'Sud Cadeberie' (South Cadbury). These two Cadburys together and many other landholdings were in the possession of Turstin Fitzrolf and grants for loyal service to William the Conqueror at around 1066 after the Battle of Hastings 'per baroniam' or 'as a baron'. He was the first Baron of the extensive Barony of North Cadbury which included several manors in nearby counties.
In the Domesday Book of 1086 the Manor is recorded as held as part of the extensive fiefdom of Turstin FitzRolf. At that time the Barony of Cadeberie was also known as the Barony of Turstin FitzRolf.
After Turstin, the barony went over to Wynebald de Ballon, 2nd Baron in 1088, later it passed into the family of his son-in-law Henry de Newmarch. He was raised to baronial rank and became 3rd Baron. Under the de Newmarch family the ancient baronial seat with all the landholdings became known as the Barony de (of) Newmarch and North Cadbury. In 1216 the 5th Baron James de Newmarch died and the Barony title was held until 2010 by private ownership in dormancy. I succeeded to the hereditary barony title as 6th Baron of North Cadbury or de Newmarch in 2011. 

A special stamp marks what would have been Queen Elizabeth II’s 100th birthday on 21 April. It honours her legacy and work towards reconciliation between the UK and Germany.

To mark the 100th birthday of Queen Elizabeth II, Deutsche Post has issued a special stamp bearing the portrait of the British monarch, who died in 2022. The stamp was unveiled at the British Embassy in Berlin in the presence of the British Ambassador to Germany, Andrew Mitchell, who was deeply moved by the occasion.

The public display of my family flag serves as a proud symbol of our family's feudal and noble identity and values promotes a sense of pride and continuity across generations.

The flag with the red St. George's cross symbolizes both my first name George and, coincidentally, my deep attachment with England, while the two blue Fleur-de-Lis represent noble status as feudal Baron and Lord, reflecting heraldic tradition. The Arthurian sword Excalibur refers to Cadbury Castle in South Cadbury, where King Arthur's famous Court called 'Camelot' was located according to legend and from where the Barony of (North) Cadbury or 'Cadeberie' takes its name, emphasising the regional heritage and the feudal title rooted in Somerset.

In 2011, I succeeded with my wife Lady Regina to the hereditary Barony and Lordship title and legally became 6th Baron and Baroness of North Cadbury. In 2026 we celebrate this anniversary.
The Barony of North Cadbury is one of the oldest feudal baronies of England, whose rich history goes back to the creation by William the Conqueror as a gift to one of his loyal companions in the battle of Hastings in abt AD 1066 c.960 years ago.

The post has just arrived this morning and it is with great pleasure and gratitude that Lady Regina and I have received a thank-you card from His Majesty The King for our warm Christmas and New Year Greetings.

Recently I have been admitted as a member of The Crown Society. My sincere thanks to the chairman, the most honourable patrons and administrative committee!
I'm a convinced monarchist and very delighted to be accepted as a member of The Crown Society. Together with many other supporters, I hope to encourage followers of the constitutional Monarchy to work towards preserving the hereditary principle of Monarchy in today's modern world so that it can continue to function successfully as an effective form of government.
Especially in this day and age, it is important to preserve the history, culture and traditions associated with the Monarchy and the Royal Family .
His Majesty King Charles III deserves our full respect as Monarch and Head of State for his tireless dedication and duty in serve to his nation(s).
