Famous ground some holders of title (5)

I believe the answer is:

lords

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'famous ground' is the definition.
'lords' can be an answer for 'ground' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'famous' bit.

'some holders of title' is the wordplay.
'some' becomes 'lor' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'holders of' suggests removing the centre (I've seen 'holder of' mean this (use the outside letters which hold the rest)).
'title' becomes 'duchess' (I've seen this before).
'duchess' with its middle taken out is 'ds'.
'lor'+'ds'='LORDS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lords that I've seen before include "Test cricket ground" , "house in London" , "London cricket ground" , "MCC's ground" , "Cricket venue" .)
