In this book Betjeman has captured the intimate world of church life, with its architecture, clergy, congregation and ritual. Betjeman's life was infused by a personal love of the Church and his understanding and experience of its architecture and its ritual make him one of the most absorbing guides to aspects of church life. Betjeman wrote a great deal about the Curch throughout his life and much of his best-loved writing is on the subject. Paul Hogarth's sensitivity to architecture and place has made him one of the most popular living artists and here he accompanies Betjeman's words with marvellous evocations of the churches set in churchyards and wider landscapes and of those details within that were so important to Betjeman and which fascinate the observant eye.
John Betjeman was born in London on 28 August 1906. He was educated at Marlborough and Magdalen College, Oxford. In 1931 his first book of poems, 'Mount Zion', was published by an old Oxford friend, Edward James. His second book was 'Ghastly Good Taste', a commentary on architecture, published in 1934. He was knighted in 1969 and was appointed Poet Laureate in 1972. John Betjeman died on 19 May 1984 at his home in Trebetherick, Cornwall and was buried at the nearby church of St Enodoc.
