A message from the Lytton Cobbold Family
It is with sadness that we announce David Anthony Fromanteel Lytton Cobbold, 2nd Baron Cobbold, DL has passed away at the age of 84.
David died peacefully at home on Monday 9th May 2022 surrounded by his family. He had suffered from Lewy Bodies Parkinson’s for some years.
David’s life and work will be remembered and cherished through the generations at the Hertfordshire home that he and his wife Chryssie worked tirelessly to preserve, Knebworth House.
Ever the showman, David was Britain’s oldest active jouster in his 70s and a driving force behind Knebworth Park’s world-renowned rock concerts.
He is survived by the eight children he raised and sixteen grandchildren.
