A propos de cet article

Octavo, [23cm/9.25inches], full gilt-embossed royal-red faux-calif sans dust jacket, pp.175. Illustrated with b-w halftones &tc. Please feel free to inquire as to particulars and/or additional photographs. . Born Constance May Rose Battersby in Warrior Square Gardens, St Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex, on 1 May 1948; her twin sister Millicent was delivered shortly afterwards. This was not only a shock to their mother - who had not realised that she was pregnant - but even more of a surprise to people strolling through the Square. With parents in the theatre,(performing as the variety act The Gay Goslings) the girls travelled widely throughout their childhood, and attended various schools for short periods. Constance completed her education at Madame Bernice's Academy of Refinement and Beauty in Gripe Street, London.

After a whirlwind romance, they were married on 1 July 1969 in the gloomy village church of King Herod the Great on the Crabtree family estate at Cleghorn St Percy, North Yorkshire. The couple later had twin sons,Giles[1] and Miles.[2] When Claude's father (Montfort, 8th Baron Crabtree) died on 7 June 1977, at the age of 104, Claude inherited the Barony and Constance became Lady Crabtree. If he had died just a day earlier, Lady Crabtree would not have been deprived of a seat at the Queen's Silver Jubilee Service in St Paul's Cathedral and she harbours a suspicion that he lingered deliberately just to spite her.As a full-fledged member of the aristocracy, in 1978 her public life began in earnest, particularly in connection with Lord Crabtree's role as Chairman of the Mid-Yorkshire Swine Breeders' Federation - the Crabtrees owning some of the largest sties in Yorkshire. A highlight of her early married life was entertaining Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh at a Swine Breeders' dinner at Crabtree Hall, which greatly improved Lady C's standing as a society hostess. Continuing her family's interest in the theatre (she had herself appeared as a chorus girl in her teenage years at the Theatre Royal in York) Lady Crabtree became Patron of the Cleghorn Local Amateur Players (The CLAP), a role she still endures to this day. In exceptionally good condition.…
