?Bearnes Hampton & Littlewood are proud and delighted to have been entrusted with the sale of the Collection of the Late Charlie and Shirley Watts. The drummer of the greatest Rock and Roll band and the love of his life, the talented horse breeder and sculptress Shirley chose Devonshire as their retreat - and it was at Halsdon House, near the village of Dolton that they lived out their lives together in rural happiness? Watts was an incorrigible bibliophile and Christie?s have already held two remarkable sales of some of his most desirable tomes - famously successful auctions of Literature and Jazz, which they described as ?a fitting tribute to the exquisite taste of the legendary Rolling Stones drummer, Charlie Watts?.?.
