Tributes have been paid to "one of the country’s most knowledgeable antiquarian books experts" following his death.

Andrew Lindsay-Bullock was head of books at Keys Auctioneers and Valuers in Aylsham until he stepped down due to ill health in 2023.

Mr Lindsay-Bullock joined the firm in 1990 after spending time with former Norfolk auction house Glennies.

After joining Keys he initially worked in the antiques department but soon switched to specialise in books.

Highlights from his career included a rare copy of Peter Henry Emerson’s Life and Landscape on the Norfolk Broads which sold for £66,000.

Tim Blyth, managing director of Keys Auctioneers, said, “Andrew was widely respected as one of the country’s most knowledgeable antiquarian books experts and his enthusiasm for the subject was infectious and inspirational.

“One of the things we are most grateful for is his generosity when it came to sharing his knowledge and experience with his colleagues here at Keys. 

"That we have been able to continue to offer a specialist books service after he stepped down is testimony to the way he nurtured and encouraged the people who worked alongside him."

His funeral will take place on November 15 at 3pm at Cromer Crematorium.
