On 5 January 1937, Sir Basil Hardington Bartlett, the second Baronet of Hardington, and Helen Mary Malcolm were married at St Bartholomew the Great, Smithfield, London. The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Rev. Philip Mandeville Bartlett (the groom’s uncle) and the Rev Sir Murland Evans conducted the service.[1] The wedding attracted much attention because the groom was an actor and playwright, while the bride was the granddaughter of Lillie Langtry, the famous actress and socialite.
