Best way for others to get it is probably to realise that the Hailsam in “Lord Hailsham” was a toponym.

I found this a little harder than usual. Cunning things that tricked me were (1) in 19 was looking for a synonym of bed (e.g. cot) whereas it was the word itself and (2) 21 across where similarly new = new not n! Re 16 down, which I liked a lot, and again was tantalisingly misleading, I read the wordplay as PRO MISER. I had to confirm HAILSHAM too, but the wordplay was very clear.
