The sixth Baronet was the husband of Lucinda Lambton, architectural writer, between 1986 and 1989.
Charlecote Park in the village of Charlecote in Warwickshire came into the Fairfax family through the marriage of the third Baronet to Ada Christina Lucy. The previous owners of Charlecote Park, the Lucy family, had become extinct in the male line. In the 20th century the family fell on harder times and they gave Charlecote Park to the National Trust.
