The pieces were collected by Wilfred Evill between 1925 and 1960. They have rarely been seen in public since a memorial exhibition for the late Evill at Brighton City Art Gallery in 1965.

Stanley Spencer's stunning 1935 painting Workmen In The House has been earmarked as the top lot, with a guide value of £1.5m-2.5m ($2.4m-4m). The sale is expected to make in excess of £12m ($19.5m) in total.
