William John Cavendish Bentinck-Scott, Fifth Duke of Portland



















Wore a 2 foot tall silk hat, two overcoats, a high collar and carried a deep umbrella for hiding behind if spoken to.
Received letters and roast chickens through in and out mailboxes in the doors of his rooms.
Unused rooms were painted pink and contained only a lavatory pan.
Eventually built a maze beneath his estate.
