Cate Haste, who has died aged 75, was an acclaimed author, biographer, historian and documentary film maker – and the second wife of the writer and broadcaster Melvyn (now Lord) Bragg.
A determined but unshowy woman, Cate Haste preferred to be known by her maiden name and built a career behind, rather than in front of the camera, becoming one of the few early female film producer-directors in television.
Mitchells Auctions to reopen next week with major sale
A 16th century Bible cover believed to have belonged to Mary Queen of Scots will be the chief lot when Mitchells saleroom reopens with a major antiques and fine art sale next week.
The stumpwork cover has an estimate of £10,000-£15,000 and is among contents from Greystoke Castle which will feature in the three-day sale at Cockermouth of 1,500 items from Wednesday to Friday.
It depicts the crucifixion with finely worked-in coloured threads and measures 30cm x 27cm, contained within a stained wood glazed case.
An accompanying plaque reads: “Bible cover owned by Mary Queen of Scots and given by her mother to Lady Elizabeth Stuart, later Countess of Arundel and Surrey who gave it to her son Charles Howard of Greystoke,” with similar words inked to the reverse.

As historian, biographer and documentary film-maker, Cate Haste, who has died aged 75 of lung cancer, explored remarkable lives and how people relate to each other, both historically and personally.
For Jeremy Isaacs’s 24-part series Cold War (1998) for BBC Two/CNN, covering the period from 1945 to 1991, she made five episodes. They told of how fear was mobilised both in the west and in eastern Europe, life behind the iron curtain, how the Berlin Wall was built, and in 1989 how it came down. Filming took her to the US, where President George HW Bush was a contributor, and to Prague, with Václav Havel, to recount how the Prague spring thaw in the Soviet bloc was crushed by invading tanks in 1968.
