Brocket is the son of Ronald Nall-Cain and Elizabeth Trotter. His father died when he was nine years old. Aged fifteen, he became the 3rd Baron Brocket on the death of his grandfather, Arthur Nall-Cain, 2nd Baron Brocket, also inheriting Brocket Hall in Hertfordshire.[1] The Hall was in a poor state of repair, and he has since converted it into a hotel and conference venue.[1][dead link] He still owns the hall through a trust which leases it to a German consortium. The lease will expire after fifty years.[citation needed]
