Sibell Lygon

Lady Sibell Lygon (10 October 1907 – 31 October 2005) was an English socialite, part of the Bright Young Things. Biography Lady Sibell Lygon was born on 10 October 1907, the daughter of William Lygon, 7th Earl Beauchamp and Lady Lettice Grosvenor. An incident when Sibell and her sister, Mary, remained closed out of their home, Halkin House, inspired a scene of Evelyn Waugh's Vile Bodies. Most of their life at Madresfield inspired Brideshead Revisited. Sibell Lygon was the receptionist at the hairdressing and beauty establishment in Bond Street run by Violet Cripps, former wife of her maternal uncle, Hugh Grosvenor, 2nd Duke of Westminster. She was also a Socialist and a journalist and contributed stories to Harper's Bazaar.
