The family seat is Cefntilla Court, Llandenny, in Monmouthshire.[6] An inscription over the porch dated 1858 reads: "This house with 238 acres of land was purchased by 1623 of the friends, admirers and comrades in arms of the late Field Marshal Lord Raglan GCB and presented by them to his son and his heirs for ever in a lasting memorial of affectionate regard and respect". The 5th Baron Raglan willed Cefntilla to the son of his sister, and not to the heirs of the barony.[7][8] The will was disputed by the Hon Arthur Somerset, son and heir of Geoffrey Somerset, but following his death on 25 July 2012 the dispute was settled.[9] References1. ^Tony Heathcote, The British Field Marshals, 1736–1997: A Biographical Dictionary (Barnsley: Leo Cooper, 1999, {{ISBN|0-85052-696-5}}), p. 267. 2. ^BBC News - Lord Raglan dies in hospital near his Usk home 3. ^{{cite web|title=Death of Lady Raglan|url=http://peeragenews.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/death-of-lady-raglan-wife-of-6th-baron.html|publisher=Peerage News}} 4. ^{{cite news |author = Cracrofts Peerage |title = 6th Baron Raglan |quote = |newspaper = Cracrofts Peerage |date = |pages = |url = http://www.cracroftspeerage.co.uk/online/content/index1103.htm |accessdate = 20 October 2013 |deadurl = yes |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20120705050451/http://www.cracroftspeerage.co.uk/online/content/index1103.htm |archivedate = 5 July 2012 |df = dmy-all}} 5. ^{{cite news| author =| title = Event industry pays tributes to Arthur Somerset| quote = Tributes to Hon.
