Some of the Sassons eventually settled in Heytesbury near Warminster. Seigfred Sasson was a famous first world war poet ..His father was part of a Jewish merchant family, originally from Iran and India, and his mother part of.... .. George Sasson was the last surviving Sasson who passed away a few years ago. "In September 1931, Sassoon rented Fitz House, Teffont Magna, Wiltshire, and began to live there.[21] In December 1933, he married Hester Gatty (daughter of Stephen Herbert Gatty), who was many years his junior. The marriage led to the birth of a child, something Sassoon had purportedly craved for a long time.
Siegfried's son, George Sassoon (1936–2006), became a scientist, linguist, and author, and was adored by Siegfried, who wrote several poems addressed to him.
Siegfried's marriage broke down after the Second World War, with Sassoon apparently unable to find a compromise between the solitude he enjoyed and the companionship he craved. Separated from his wife in 1945, Sassoon lived in seclusion at Heytesbury in Wiltshire, although he maintained contact with a circle which included E M Forster and J R Ackerley. One of his closest friends was the cricketer Dennis Silk who later became Warden (headmaster) of Radley College. He also formed a close friendship with Vivien Hancock, then headmistress of Greenways School at Ashton Gifford, where his son George was a pupil. The relationship provoked Hester to make strong accusations against Hancock, who responded with the threat of legal action.[22]
