Richard Marriott, 90: Book-loving banker and lord-lieutenant who rebought family home
Richard Marriott was lord-lieutenant of the East Riding of Yorkshire from 1996 to 2005 after serving as high sheriff of Humberside from 1991-92.
His peripatetic childhood had taken him from Essex to London to West Sussex and, during the war years, to Farnley, outside Leeds, but it was not until 1981 that Richard and his wife, Sally, arrived in East Yorkshire, having bought Boynton Hall and its estate. With its family connections going back to the 1550s, the hall had been sold by Richard’s uncle in 1950. Over the following four decades the couple painstakingly repurchased its buildings, books, furniture, pictures and land. It was a source of joy to them to restore Boynton and share the house with friends and family.
Richard was born in 1930 in Bishop’s Stortford, Hertfordshire, to Major Rowland Marriott and Evelyn (née Caillard).
...In 1958 he met Sally Coles and attempted to woo her through skating at Queens ice rink in Bayswater. They married in June 1959 and she survives him with their sons, Charlie and James, and grandchildren, Kathy, Lizzie and Alexander.
