Biografía

Fue hijo de sir George Sitwell de Renishaw Hall. Su madre fue Lady Ida Emily Augusta Denison, una de las hijas del Barón Londesborough y nieta de Henry Somerset, 7mo. duque de Beaufort, quien descendía de la Casa de Plantagenet. Se convirtió en el 6to. Baronet, al heredar el título a la muerte de su hermano Osbert en 1969. Su residencia principal se ubicó en Weston Hall, Northamptonshire, en la casa familiar.

Si bien nació en Scarborough, Yorkshire, fue criado en Derbyshire. Fue educado en el Colegio Eton y en el Balliol College de la Universidad de Oxford. Durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, sirvió desde 1916 en regimiento de los Grenadier Guards del Ejército Británico.

En 1925, se casó con la canadiense Georgia Doble. Constant Lambert puso música a uno de sus poemas, The Rio Grande, y fue publicado en 1928.

Entre sus obras más destacadas y originales se encuentra una serie de "fantasías" autobiográficas, tales como "For Want of the Golden City", "The Hunters and the Hunted", "Dance of the Quick and the Dead"(1936).
