THIS beautiful village has a new Lord and Lady – and the privilege has cost them a whopping £7,000.

That’s the price the new Lord and Lady of Eynsford forked out for the honour at a London auction on Tuesday.

But mystery surrounds the identity of the village’s latest nobility, so the new lord and ladyship could be anyone from Gwyneth Paltrow to Johnny Depp.

The title went for a stately £7,000, despite a guide price of just £4,000 to £5,000.

The Manorial Society – for people with titles – is keeping the bidder’s name hush-hush.

They say it is the lord and lady’s choice to step forward if they want to.

Despite the exclusive title, there will be no servants, no countryside estate or acres of land attached.

The new owners will be able to use the stately name on credit cards, cheque books and passports.

However, the title will not give them privilege to sit in the House of Lords, neither does it give them any claim to the rolling fields surrounding the picturesque village. Robert Smith, Lord of Tonbridge and Manorial Society chairman, said: “No one should go into this expecting a manorial El Dorado.

“This is for the men and women who have already got everything. It’s for him who has a Rolls-Royce in the garage while she has diamonds.”

Lord and Lady Eynsford will also have to find their own coat of arms because the original one still belongs to the Hart Dyke family.

The Hart Dykes held the Lordship of Peyforer in Eynsford title, along with Lullingstone and Orpington, but sold the Eynsford title 10 years ago.

Mr Smith said despite manorial auctions attracting European bids, most titles went to the British.

He added the biggest bid was the title for lord of the manor of Wimbledon back in 1996, which went for £171,000 and was bought by Princess Diana’s brother Lord Spencer.
