Nov. 15, 1897, Scarborough, Yorkshire; d. Oct. 1, 1988; English writer, best known as an art critic and writer on architecture, particularly the Baroque) The Sitwell Society (website), viewed March 25, 2024: Sir Sacheverell Sitwell (1897 - 1988) (Of the "Trio" his life was the most normal, and it was he who secured the future of the Baronetcy. His birth in Scarborough on 15th November 1897 is commemorated by a Blue Plaque unveiled by his son and 7th Baronet, the late Sir Reresby. His education continued, before he was seven, at a boarding-school in Folkestone, where he recounts the mournful meetings with his mother as their mutual sadness at being parted was most apparent. Eton and Oxford University followed and then into the Grenadier Guards. Following his siblings to London and embracing foreign travel his book "Southern Baroque Art" established his reputation early. Escaping to Paris he married a stunning brunette, Georgia Doble, the daughter of a rich Canadian banker. That marriage, on 16th October 1925 was to be marked by the disloyalty of each but would be sustained till her death on 21st October 1980. Their first child Reresby would become the 7th Baronet, whilst Francis, the second son, would find a place in Edith's affections and he it was who organised her 75th birthday celebration at the Royal Festival Hall in London. Sachie lived on to die at Weston on 1st October 1988.) <https://sitwellsociety.com/Sacheverell.php> |
