The name, made famous by The Beatles’ song, is inscribed on a headstone in St Peter’s churchyard in Woolton, Liverpool, where Paul Mc Cartney first met John Lennon.
They will go under the hammer alongside the original handwritten score for the song which is expected to fetch £20,000.
A certificate of purchase and a receipt for the grave will be sold in a lot with a miniature Bible dated 1899 and with the name Eleanor Rigby written inside.
Paul Fairweather, from Omega Auctions, said: “Each item is unique and of significant historical importance in itself so to have both to come up for auction at the same time is an incredible coincidence and it will be exciting to see how they perform. I expect there to be fierce bidding from across the globe.”
