“Close to frozen” is how Andrey Kelin, Russia’s ambassador to the UK, recently described relations between London and Moscow.

THE lavish contents of one of Britain s most beautiful stately homes are being auctioned off in a £1m everything-must-go sale run by a Dorchester auction house. Wormington Grange has been owned since the 1970s by John Evetts, the grandson of Lord Ismay, Winston Churchill s chief military strategist during World War Two. Mr Evetts has sold the neoclassical Cotswolds mansion for a multi-million pounds sum as he is downsizing to a smaller property in the area. The sale features over 1,000 items ranging in value from £50 kitchen glasses to £100,000 works of art. Auctioneers Duke s of Dorchester say it features the most important collection of country house furniture to emerge on the market for decades.
