Eccentric
 |
 |
| The exploits of the 17th Viscount Mountgarret, a Yorkshire peer who famously tried to shoot down a hot-air balloon for disturbing the birds on his grouse moor, have been enshrined in a stained-glass window at St Paul and St Margaret, Nidd, near Harrogate, once a chapel on the Viscount’s estate. The incident, in 1982, cost him a fine of £1800. The Viscount died four years ago. The window also commemorates Mountgarret’s time as president of Yorkshire County Cricket Club, when he was credited with settling in-fighting. |
