Lily STERRY nee TURLEY 1895 (General)

I now have double confirmation that Lilian (Lily) Sterry nee Turley on page 38 of the Turnpenny link is correctly described there as having been the daughter of Emily Turley, single mother.

The baptism on 24 March 1895 at Viney Hill is shown in this site's parish record transcriptions with Emily as mother and no father stated, but I also have it from one of Lily's living descendants that Emily was indeed Lily's mother. Moreover according to family lore Emily was impregnated by the Lord of the Manor. If so, the baptismal record might imply that the exerciser of this belated Droit de Seigneur was a bit bashful about it.

Does anyone know if Lords of the Manor as such were still around in Blakeney/Viney Hill in 1894, and if so who they were?
