Sir John Betjeman papers
Manuscripts
The papers consist of correspondence, poems, and drawings. The largest group of letters were written between John Betjeman and Jack Beddington and concern Betjeman's search for work during the Second World War as well as Betjeman's post-war writing projects. There are also letters between Beddington and Penelope Chetwode, Lady Penelope Betjeman, who married John Betjeman in 1933. The collection also contains one letter each from Talbot Hainault, T. Lillie-Costello, John William Pearce, and John Piper (with Betjeman). There are also three poems in the collection by Betjeman, written approximately 1939: "Ebenezer Jones," "The Godly Usher...," and "Upper Lambourne," and two original drawings.
