  Sacheverell Sitwell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Sacheverell Sitwell, 6th Baronet CH (November 15, 1897–October 1, 1988) was an English writer, best known as an art critic and writer on architecture, particularly the baroque.
He was the younger brother of Edith Sitwell and Osbert Sitwell; later in life he became more reticent about associating himself with the publicity attaching to the Sitwells collectively, travelling and concentrating on writing.

 Sacheverell Sitwell Collection, Biographical Sketch
Sacheverell Reresby Sitwell was the third child and second son born to Sir George and Lady Ida Sitwell.
Between 1912 and 1915 the Sitwell family was preoccupied by legal issues resulting from Lady Ida's debts, and Sacheverell suffered a great deal of emotional stress over her eventual imprisonment.
However, it also served to release Sacheverell finally from the familial dependence he had always felt, financially and emotionally, and allowed him to make a sort of peace with the memory of his brother; this despite Osbert having left the larger part of his estate to Reresby.
