About Nunsmere Hall
Built around 1900 for Sir Aubrey Brocklebank and his wife Grace, Nunsmere Hall's past is entwined with England's maritime history and the aristocratic liners of the 20th Century.
Sir Aubrey was chairman of the famous Brocklebank Shipping Line in Cumberland dating back to the 1700s. From here the ancestors sailed the seven seas and established a shipbuilding yard in New England. The American Civil War of Independence brought that venture to an abrupt halt but the Brocklebanks prospered and in 1820 they opened offices in Liverpool. Soon the fleet plied the world, from Calcutta and Bombay to Shanghai and Lima. In 1911 steam brought a new era. Sir Aubrey became Chairman of the Brocklebank Line, which played a vital role in maintaining the Nation's food supplies during the First World War. By the time of the Great War, The company had already tentatively linked with Cunard. 25 years later the companies merged - Cunard-Brocklebank Line. Sir Aubrey was appointed to the Cunard board. In the 1900s he designed a magnificent new liner to restore Cunard in the North Atlantic. Sadly, Sir Aubrey was never to see his work come to fruition. He died in 1929, and 5 years later, on 26 September 1934, the Queen Mary was launched. The specifications were just as Sir Aubrey and his team had planned! The family remained at Nunsmere Hall until the Second World War when the building became a temporary hospital. John Brocklebank, who had grown up at Nunsmere, inherited the family title in 1953 upon the death of his elder brother and some years later, he reluctantly accepted the Chair of Cunard. In 1963, through his prompting, a new Cunard (Queen) was on the drawing board. This was to become the QE2.
