Mum wins £6m family feud with son who claimed fortune would 'all be his one day'

An 88-year-old mum has won a £6m court fight against her “wealthy” son to make sure her daughters get a share of the family millions.

Peter Horsford, 54, has been ordered to pay his mother, Marion, £2.52m for her share in the £6m family country pile, after a judge threw out his claims he was promised it would “all be his one day.” Mr Horsford told London’s High Court he was “repeatedly promised” the 540-acre estate in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, would be his, ever since he was a schoolboy.

He sacrificed a normal childhood spent playing with his friends to labour on the family farm, and was “groomed” to take over from his dad, starting when he was given farm-themed toys as a boy, he claimed.
