Семья и жизнь

Сибил Сассун родилась в Лондоне в еврейской семье. Она была дочерью сэра Эдварда Сассуна (1856–1912), 2 -го Bt. И Баронессы Алин Кэролайн де Ротшильд (1865–1909). Ее братом был сэр Филипп Сассун .

On 6 August 1913, she married George Cholmondeley, Earl of Rocksavage (19 May 1883 – 16 September 1968). He later succeeded as the 5th Marquess of Cholmondeley. They had two sons and one daughter:

• Lady Aline Caroline Cholmondeley (5 October 1916 – 30 June 2015)
• George Hugh Cholmondeley, 6th Marquess of Cholmondeley (24 April 1919 – 13 March 1990)
• Lord John George Cholmondeley (15 November 1920 – October 1986)

Houghton Hall

Lady Cholmondeley was largely responsible for restoring her husband's family estate, Houghton Hall, to its former glory. She was a generous patron of the arts and had an extensive art collection by the time of her death.

The Sybil Sassoon Gardens at Houghton were opened to the public in 1996. Lady Sybil's grandson, the current marquess, developed the gardens in honour of his grandmother. In 2008, the garden was named Historic Houses Association and Christie's Garden of the Year. In "the pool garden", the entwined initials "SS" are represented in the outlines of the clipped box-hedge which surrounds plantings of lavender and rosemary. She is buried in the Church of St Martin on the Houghton Hall estate. Through her son George Hugh Cholmondeley, Sybil is the great-grandmother of actor Jack Huston.
