    The Hon. Alicia Mary Dorothea Knatchbull-Hugessen married Major Hon. Bernard Clive Pearson, the younger son of Weetman Dickinson Pearson, 1st Viscount Cowdray.

    From 1922 they lived at Parham Park in Sussex, which they purchased from the 13th Lady Zouche. Parham House was home to evacuee children and Canadian soldiers during World War Two, and in 1948 was subsequently opened to the public.

    Parham House remains home to the Pearson family and is renowned for its important collection of early needlework, pictures, and furniture.

    See lot 21 for a bracelet from the same collection.
