Lord Conesford became a Queen's Counsel (QC) in 1964 and a Bencher of the Inner Temple in 1969. He was also a member of the governors of Norwich High School for Girls and a vice-president of the Girls' Day School Trust. He was well known for his speeches in which he complained about the improper usages of the English language, especially in the United States, as can be seen in a Time magazine article from 1957.Time (magazine)
