Paper. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition. An Original Hand Written Signed Letter by John Betjeman. Letter dated 1967. A signed letter by the poet John Betjeman, on development in his favourite place in Britain, Trebetherick in Cornwall. 'Dear Miss Calton, I thank you so very much for your kind letter about Bria House. I can understand the agony you must both have at parting with it. I only hope you will find someone who will continue your own generous tradition and who won't "develop" the hill. I expect the Planning Authority won't allow "development" but one can never be certain. How awful that is about the oil. I've told Mr Philip of the Trebetherick Householders Association of your kind letter to me which is so reassuring. Yours sincerely, John Betjeman' Sir John Betjeman 1906 - 1984 was an English poet, writer, and broadcaster. He was Poet Laureate from 1972 until his death.

Another poem, Trebetherick, celebrates the area and also reveals Betjeman's familiarity with, and affection for, this part of the Cornish coast: Later in life, Betjeman bought a house called 'Treen' in Daymer Lane, Trebetherick, where he died on 19 May 1984, aged 77.
