Pauline Rumbold was a true bohemian aristocrat – a tension of
qualities that were literally in her genes. She was the daughter of
the Hon David Tennant, founder of Soho's legendary Gargoyle Club and
scion of a colourful titled family; and of Hermione Baddeley, British
actress of youthful beauty who later appeared in Passport to Pimlico,
Brighton Rock and Mary Poppins. By the time I met Pauline Rumbold, in
the mid-1980s, her own good looks had given way to a decided
eccentricity. I recall being driven by her around the Salisbury ring
road – a construction evidently new to her (although she had lived in
the area all her life). Caught in the one-way system, she despaired
with a cry of, "We're all rats in a trap!" as she threw her hands in
the air, leaving me, a non-driver, to make a grab for the momentarily
unmanned steering wheel.

Pauline Lady Rumbold, who has died aged 81, was one of the most
captivatingly lovely women of her generation.
captivatingly lovely women of her generation.
An actress in her youth, she became a woman of letters. Amusing,
widely read and extremely hospitable, her many friendships crossed the
boundaries of age, fuelled by continuous laughter, animated talk, good
wine and by her cooking – influenced lifelong by her love of all
things French.

Pauline Rumbold was a truly charming product of the turbulent 1940s,
the vivid age in which she came to maturity. The daughter of a
colourful aristocrat, David Tennant, who founded the Gargoyle Club in
Soho, and of the actress Hermione Baddeley, Pauline Rumbold mixed
these qualities in a manner effortlessly her own. She moved from
repertory theatre to high society with ease, at home in a Soho dive or
a stately home.
