The Collection of the Late
Baroness Herries of Terregles
Baroness Herries of Terregles (1938-2014) was the 14th holder of the barony. She inherited
the title from her late father, the 16th Duke of Norfolk and 13th Lord Herries of Terregles,
upon his death in 1975. Born Anne Elizabeth Fitzalan-Howard, she was the eldest of
four daughters and grew up at Arundel Castle, the Norfolk’s family seat in West Sussex.
Lady Anne shared her family’s love of horses from a young age and would become a
well-known racehorse trainer and the second wife of Colin Cowdrey, later Lord Cowdrey
of Tonbridge, one of England’s most celebrated cricketers.
In 1970 she moved to her paternal grandmother’s home, Everingham, in East Yorkshire.
There she became Master of the Middleton Hounds. In 1979 she returned to Sussex,
making her home at Angmering Park House on the Angmering Park Estate, close to her
childhood roots at Arundel. Horse-racing was in Lady Anne’s blood and she set about
training racehorses with notable success.
Lady Anne’s life was always rooted in the countryside and most especially in the folds
of the Sussex Downs. Her home, too, reflected the best of traditional English country
house taste.
I have always held a fond admiration for Lady Anne and her family. They have made
such a remarkable and generous contribution to our community in Sussex. It has been
my privilege to accompany them over many years through their charitable activities
and, like so many others, I have valued their friendship and support. I am, therefore,
delighted that Toovey’s are offering the principal contents of Angmering Park House at
our salerooms here at Washington. The sale provides an extraordinary insight into the
life of a remarkable family.

TERMS OF SALE BY AUCTION AND CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS
MAINLY CONCERNING SELLERS
1. A commission rate of 15% plus VAT is payable by sellers on the hammer price of individual lots sold. (The VAT
rate may alter and will be levied at the appropriate rate.) Books are zero-rated for VAT and, therefore, no VAT
will be payable by sellers on the commission for lots consisting exclusively of books.
2. An additional charge of £6.00 inclusive of VAT is levied in respect of each lot sold, covering Internet marketing,
lotting and administration.
3. Rupert Toovey & Co. Ltd. are not regulated by the F.S.A. for the provision of insurance to its clients. However,
Rupert Toovey & Co. Ltd., for its own protection, insures property consigned to it at mid pre-sale estimate, unless
the item has been sold, in which instance property is insured at the hammer price, for loss, occasioned as a result
of theft, fire or negligence whilst in their custody or control.
Continued on next page…
ii
4. The seller undertakes to reimburse Rupert Toovey & Co. Ltd. for all expenses incurred, inclusive of VAT, where
the seller’s instructions are withheld after chattels have been deposited at the salerooms, e.g. transport or storage.
5. Illustrations in the catalogue will be charged to the seller at an agreed rate.
6. All reserves will be subject to up to 10% discretion unless Rupert Toovey & Co. Ltd. are instructed to sell items
without reserve, whereby the Auctioneer will sell the lot for the highest price bid but not for less than £20.
‘Auctioneer’s Discretion’ is half the lower estimate. The Auctioneers reserve the right to alter reserves prior to
auction should prevailing market conditions force the Auctioneers to do so. Reserves once fixed may only be
altered with the express permission of the Auctioneer. Where a reserve has been placed, only the Auctioneer may
bid on behalf of the seller. The Auctioneer reserves the right to sell at a ‘hammer price’ below the reserve, but in
any such case the sale proceeds to the seller shall be the same as if the lot had sold at reserve.
7. VAT. Conditions 1, 2, 4, 8 and 13 are subject to VAT at the appropriate rate.
8. The Auctioneers reserve the right to charge a withdrawal fee of 15% plus VAT of mid pre-sale estimate plus an
additional £6.00 inclusive of VAT for any lots entered for sale but subsequently withdrawn prior to auction.
9. The Auctioneers reserve the right to reproduce photographs and illustrations of any items placed with them for
sale and retain copyright of those images. The Auctioneers reserve the right to use images of any items placed
with them for sale for pre-sale or post-sale marketing purposes.
10. If a buyer returns a lot within seven working days of purchase for an alleged breach of any matters referred to
in Condition 9 of the Buyers Conditions or Condition 10 of the Sellers Conditions, and the Auctioneer is of the
opinion that the buyer’s complaint is justified, the Auctioneer is authorized to cancel the sale and refund the total
amount paid for the lot to the buyer.
11. The Auctioneers reserve the right to cancel any sale at any time, at their sole discretion.
12. The seller of any lot warrants to the Auctioneer and to the buyer that the seller is the true owner of the property
up for sale or is legally authorized to sell the property by the true owner and is able to give good and marketable
title to the property, free from any third party claims, and that the seller will indemnify the Auctioneers, their
servants and agents, and the buyer against any loss or damage suffered as a result of any breach of the terms of
this clause by the seller.
13. Sale proceeds will be posted to the seller within 28 working days after the end of the week of the auction in all
cases, except as stated in Conditions 10 and 11 and where payment has not been made to the Auctioneers and it
is held in the Auctioneers’ opinion to be in the seller’s best interest to extend the period for the buyer to make
payment in full. In such instances Rupert Toovey & Co. Ltd. will post the sale proceeds within nine working days
after the day on which the total amount due is received from the buyer. A charge will be made for each payment
to a seller requested or required in any form other than a sterling cheque. The Auctioneers reserve the right to
retain any interest accruing on monies held pending payment.
14. Unsold Lots. The Auctioneers will notify the seller of any unsold lots within 10 working days after the sale. The
seller can choose to either re-offer the lot(s) with a lower reserve in a future auction or to collect the lot(s) within 28
days. If the Auctioneers have not received instructions within 28 days, the lot will be re-offered without a reserve
and sold to the highest bidder. Where a request has been made to a seller to remove goods from the saleroom and
they are not removed within 28 days of such a request, the aforementioned conditions will also apply.
15. The seller authorizes the Auctioneers to deduct commission at the stated rates and any expenses from the hammer
