George Frederick Samuel Robinson was unique in English history. The facts are that he was conceived at No 11 Downing Street when his father, Frederick John Robinson, (Earl Goderich of Nocton) was the Chancellor of the Exchequer and then born at No. 10 (24 October 1827) during the time his father was the shortest ever reigning English Premier (holding the position for just five months (130 days) between September 1827 and January 1828).

The family home for the Robinson's was Nocton Hall and his mother, Lady Sarah, was the driving force in developing Nocton into the idyllic village it is today.
