Masefield Matters, rediscovering the life and work of the writer John Masefield on the 150th anniversary of his birth in Ledbury
Everyone read John Masefield in the 1920s, he was a best-seller. His inspirational life and work have now faded from view. The 150th anniversary of his birth in Ledbury in 2028 is an opportunity to rectify this. Through a programme of activity exploring the things that mattered to him - people and place, the countryside and the sea, seafaring life - the community will become reconnected with the Ledbury Poet and their newly gained insight will be harnessed in the co-development of a memorial to him. What form the memorial will take – a trail featuring his words, a sculpture of running wolves, a digital rendition of the poem Everlasting Mercy – will be decided by the community.
