Separated Years before divorce 1952
(4 December 1933 - 1957) (divorced)
she married the Hon. Peter Murray Rennell Rodd (nicknamed "Prod"; 16 April 1904 – 1968), the youngest son of Rennell Rodd, 1st Baron Rennell. Rodd was educated at Wellington College and Balliol College, Oxford. During the Second World War he served with the Welsh Guards as a Lieutenant-Colonel. He is now remembered as the model (along with Basil Murray) for the disreputable but brilliant Basil Seal in Evelyn Waugh's novels Black Mischief and Put Out More Flags.
The marriage was a failure; her husband was unfaithful and couldn't keep a job; in time Nancy took over the family finances, working in the bookshop G. Heywood Hill, and was unfaithful in her turn. Though the Rodds separated in 1939, they continued to see one another on a purely friendly basis, and Rodd used her Paris flat as an occasional base. She also gave him financial assistance from time to time. They were divorced in 1958 (although Nancy is described as "the wife of Peter Rodd" on her headstone).
