Osbert's sister was the poet Edith Sitwell,

 but his brother was Sacheverall Sitwell, author of books on baroque architecture, when the subject was not fashionable.  That's really a name to conjure with.

They provided Walton with the words for Facade.

Here are all three (Osbert to the left, Sacheverall to the right.)



Osbert's introduction is the weakest bit in the edition.

It's crept under the fence from next door and gone everywhere! But most attractive.
