Pamela Chloe Buxton was probably born on August 14 1915 (she was never certain of the exact day). Her father, Captain Richard Buxton, was from long-established Norfolk farming stock; her mother Primrose’s more exotic Norfolk family were the prosperous Rallis, 19th-century immigrants from the Mediterranean island of Chios – marked by Chloe’s Greek Christian name.
Introduced to her future husband, Michael MacCarthy, by Mungo and Racy Buxton, who were cousins of both, Chloe married into the second generation of the Bloomsbury Group. Michael was an experienced farmer who had worked on estates in South America, South Africa and Rhodesia; but his decidedly non-agricultural father was Sir Desmond MacCarthy, the most prominent literary critic of the time. His mother Mary (Molly), née Warre-Cornish, was related to the Thackerays and to the Stephen sisters, Virginia Woolf and Vanessa Bell. Molly MacCarthy was celebrated for her quick wit – she coined the term “Bloomsberries”. Michael’s younger sister, Rachel, married the writer Lord David Cecil.
