(RAMSAY-) FAIRFAX-LUCY, Sir Edmund John William Hugh 6th Bt (1945-2020)

[colinp]

Sir Edmund died late March/early April 2020.  The Official Roll shows the baronetcy as being vacant.  The Wikipedia article on the baronets was edited on 2 April which gives us a terminus ad quem

He was a painter and Past Master of the Art Workers Guild. There is a tribute to him on their website www.artworkersguild.org  here  https://mcusercontent.com/c7c7819f6ec63287c87a6eeb5/files/b8a3e369-5614-4e0a-9827-c0dc205c62b8/Sir_Edmund_Fairfax_Lucy_by_Richard_Sorrell.pdf.  If you go to News on the website and scroll down you will come to the report of his death - this says he died "on Monday" but I can't tell which Monday this is - perhaps someone can work it out!  It's probably quite simple

He was son of Sir Brian Fulke Cameron-Ramsay-Fairfax-Lucy 5th Bt (1898-1974) and (m1933) Alice Caroline Helen BUCHAN (d 1993) only dau of the 1st Baron TWEEDSMUIR.  He m (1) 1974 (div) Sylvia dau of Graeme OGDEN of The Old Manor, Rudge, Somerset and (2) 1986 (div 1989) Lady Lucinda LAMBTON dau of the sometime 6th Earl of DURHAM and (3) 1994 Erica Everina Penelope dau of Simon Folliott Warren Thomas Barton LOANE of Crocknacrieve co Fermanagh.  He had issue (by 3rd m):-

Sarah Rawlings at the SCB believes he died on 30 March

I would agree.

Having looked at the obituary pdf properties, it was created on 3 April 4pm, which was a Friday, so it makes sense that the Monday before is the logical death date.

EXTRACTS

Sir Edmund Fairfax-Lucy, 6th Bt, who has died following a heart attack aged 74, was an artist who painted light and space in atmospheric interiors and in landscapes with exceptional sensitivity that won him an eager following among collectors.

Born on May 4 1945, Edmund Fairfax-Lucy (known as Ed) grew up in a converted mill at Fossebridge in Gloucestershire. His father Brian, who became the 5th baronet in 1965, was a career soldier who became a writer after marrying Alice Buchan, the daughter of John Buchan, herself a writer.

At the end of the war his father and uncle had completed the gift to the National Trust of the Lucys’ Elizabethan Charlecote House near Stratford-upon-Avon, but the family rooms were left under dust sheets, as they had been for several decades. During the 1970s, Fairfax-Lucy visited often and brought the house back to life, sharing the discoveries he and visiting friends (including the singer Ian Dury) dressed up in Georgian clothes that were still hanging in the wardrobes.

He worked in a harmonious partnership with Jeffrey Haworth, the National Trust’s Historic Building Representative, to research the collections and reinstate the rooms.

Edmund Fairfax-Lucy was married three times; first, in 1974, to Sylvia Ogden, and briefly in 1986 to the photographer and writer Lucinda Lambton. In 1994 he married Erica Loane, who survives him with their two sons.
