Z John Betjeman Biography Sir John Betjeman (28 August 1906 - 19 May 1984) was a British poet and writer on architecture. He was born in Highgate, London, his surname indicating his Dutch ancestry. He left Magdalen College, Oxford without a degree due to lack of work which resulted in his failing his divinity exams. In his verse autobiography, Summoned by Bells (1960), Betjeman tells the story of his early life, up to his employment as a teacher at a preparatory school. Later, Betjeman obtained employment as a journalist, before joining the civil service. It has recently been revealed that his wartime duties entailed providing secret intelligence reports. Betjeman never took himself too seriously. His poems are often humorous, and in later life he enjoyed a career as a broadcaster, his popularity being in no small measure due to his bumbling image. He became Poet Laureate in 1972, succeeding Cecil Day Lewis. One of his first duties was to produce a poem in honour of the wedding of Princess Anne. John Betjeman died at Trebetherick, Cornwall in his 78th year.

He invited Russell for an interview, during which the young film-maker pitched several ideas (including a film on the composer Edward Elgar , eventually made in 1962), and Wheldon chose a project illustrating John Betjeman 's London poetry, not least because it would be very cheap and quick to make. Russell was assigned a budget of just £300, which the

Got a query? ask our experts John Betjeman's radio talks Steven Games John Betjeman, whose centenary we celebrate, is best loved for his poems. But it was his 25 years of radio essays that reflected the real man, and charted his metamorphosis from aggressive eccentric to the romantic humanist that so sharply captured the English spirit. Steven Games, fresh from editing the first collection of his broadcasts, describes his transformation. Thanks to his determination, his memories and loves are now an intrinsic part of our literary heritage and have reawoken the English to their past to an extent without parallel anywhere else in Europe or America. The chances of Betjeman becoming a national icon seem slight when one looks back on his career. Although the product of Oxford University, he was eccentric and homespun and passionately at odds with the received wisdom of his day. He was a stubborn and self-taught amateur in the English tradition and even his admirers found him odd. His field of expertise was wayward: he visited the unvisited, read the unread and learned piecemeal from other one-offs like himself. And yet he was able to turn the tide of history, rescue nineteenth-century architecture from being written off and win the affection of some of his most doubting onlookers.
