Sir Roy Strong, widower of Julia Trevelyan Oman, is "having a clear-out"

[Jan McNulty]

I came across this news while culling today's links.

 

Sir Roy Strong is down-sizing in current parlance and is having a clear-out.  A number of the items in the sale have relevance to ballet and dance.

Luckily the piece faded behind the paywall before I could get frustrated at not being able to afford the Hockney or the Nureyev costume!  😆

Though actually the guide prices mentioned for the ballet items seemed rather low to me! (Not that I could afford them, or house them, of course!).
