She trained at Chelsea School of Art and exhibited widely during the 1960s & 70s.

June was the daughter of Lancelot Barrington-Ward KCVO, a royal surgeon to King George VI and his family. He also played rugby for England. Her grandfather was the vicar of Duloe in Cornwall. Although her work was applauded by contemporary critics, she never pursued recognition. In the words of a family member “she didn’t seek fame and I believe she was simply happy to be left alone to make things.”Maggie Cameron Fraser was an academic who specialised in antique glass, a subject on which she wrote extensively and lectured at the Victoria & Albert Museum. Some of the very fine pieces in this sale were part of her treasured collection.They met during the Second World War.

For many years they shared a large property in Chiswick with a studio, until making the move to Cornwall.Maggie bought their magical house in North East Cornwall from the Carlyon Family in 1978. After renovating their home, they settled happily into retirement, Maggie astutely playing the stock market and June continuing to create sculpture. June died in 2002 and Maggie followed her last year.The home they left, and their wonderful collection of art and antiques, stand as a celebration and testament to their happy life together.

Nothing as vulgar as a nod or wink. His demeanour told me he was bidding but of course, I knew his taste. I knew when he “should” be bidding.
