Documents detailing the breakdown of John Lennon’s marriage to first wife Cynthia will go to auction in Warrington next month.
The previously unseen and unpublished five page dossier, which was drafted in 1968 by a solicitor dealing with the divorce of Lennon and Cynthia, includes a draft statement made by the Beatles member’s former housekeeper, Dorothy Jarlett.
It details the housekeeper’s account of what she saw while working for Lennon at his family home Kenwood in Weybridge, Surrey.
The statement details changes in his moods following drug abuse, his attitude towards his son Julian, and the change in his morning routine, which saw Dorothy no longer allowed to take him breakfast in bed due to Yoko Ono spending the night, supposedly in a separate room whilst Cynthia was away.
The documents, which are expected to fetch up to £5,000, are part of a wider auction of Beatles memorabilia taking place at Omega Auctions in Warrington on Tuesday, March 24
