One of the strangest happenings involving the world of George Formby took place on 20th
June 1961. A public auction was held within the grounds of "Beryldene" in St. Annes near
Blackpool, the last home of George and Beryl. Beryl had died the previous Christmas, and
George followed her three months later on March 6th 1961.
The auction was
required because
George's family
opposed his final will.
A few weeks before
his death, he had
become engaged to a
school teacher named
Pat Howson, and his
most recent will left
the Formby fortune
almost intact to her.
What must have been
a unique occasion
involving such a
major personality was
held over three days.
The auction was held
under a marquee in
the backyard of
George's home.
People queued up for
hours to get in.
After George's death, there were many angry words between the Formby's and Pat
Howson. Some have described the Formby family as excessively greedy, and
sympathized with Miss Howson's position. Personally, I also have great sympathy with the
Formby family. While Beryl Formby is generally credited with making George a star, it
should also be remembered that George's mother spent a great deal of money giving
George his start in show business--money that George's father had earned throughout his
own highly successful career.
In fairness, the Formby family had good reason to make a claim against George's wealth
without all the negative comments that have haunted them over the years. How would you
feel if your deceased brother's fortune was going to a girl he'd known only a few months,
leaving nothing for his own mother?
The auction lasted for three days and nothing was spared from the auctioneer's gavel.
Even soiled underwear was included. To some degree I feel that this must have been the
greatest insult that anyone could level against George and Beryl Formby. Surely if Pat
Howson had any real feelings for George, she would have insisted that only items that
would retain George and Beryl's dignity should have been included. But sadly, the whole
lot, from curtains, clothes, bed linen, in fact everything that could, was included. What a
sad end.
Now, 58 years after the event, the brochure gives a unique insight into how George and
Beryl lived. It is like a walk through their home. It is a large document listing over 1,000
items. They are all reproduced here.

Beryldene auction catalogue
One of the strangest
happenings involving the world
of George Formby took place
on 20th June 1961. A public
auction was held within the
grounds of "Beryldene" in St.
Annes near Blackpool, the last
home of George and Beryl.
Beryl had died the previous
Christmas, and George followed
her three months later on March
6th 1961.
The auction was required
because George's family
opposed his final will. A few
weeks before his death, he had
become engaged to a school
teacher named Pat Howson,
and his most recent will left the
Formby fortune almost intact to
her. What must have been a
unique occasion involving such
a major personality was held
over three days. The auction
was held under a marquee in the
backyard of George's home. People
queued up for hours to get in.
After George's death, there were
many angry words between the
Formby's and Pat Howson. Some
have described the Formby family
as excessively greedy, and
sympathized with Miss Howson's
position. Personally, I also have
great sympathy with the Formby
family. While Beryl Formby is
generally credited with making
George a star, it should also be
remembered that George's mother
spent a great deal of money giving
George his start in show business--
money that George's father had
earned throughout his own highly
successful career.
In fairness, the Formby family had good reason to make a claim against
George's wealth without all the negative comments that have haunted them
over the years. How would you feel if your deceased brother's fortune was
going to a girl he'd known only a few months, leaving nothing for his own
mother?
The auction lasted for three days and nothing was spared from the
auctioneer's gavel. Even soiled underwear was included. To some degree I
feel that this must have been the greatest insult that anyone could level
against George and Beryl Formby. Surely if Pat Howson had any real
feelings for George, she would have insisted that only items that would
retain George and Beryl's dignity should have been included. But sadly, the
whole lot, from curtains, clothes, bed linen, in fact everything that could, was
included. What a sad end.
Now, 58 years after the event, the brochure gives a unique insight into how
George and Beryl lived. It is like a walk through their home. It is a large
document listing over 1,000 items. They are all reproduced here.
