Eliot, Thomas Stearns (1888-1965), poet, critic and publisher, Criterion, 24 Russell Square, London WC1; letter to Peter Winckworth ‘Dear Winckworth’, 30 Buckingham Gate. London SW1, 21 October 1937 Unable to lunch next week as he will be in Edinburgh the whole week; very glad to lunch later; ‘the only day in every week on which I am never free is Wednesday’; ‘I shall be interested to know if you really have some good Wensleydale at Windham’s; if so, I must speak severely to our steward, who has not provided any Wensleydale at all yet this year’.In 1922 Eliot jumped at an offer from Lady Rothermere, wife of Esmond Harmsworth, second Viscount Rothermere, publisher of the Daily Mail, to edit a high-profile literary journal. The first number of The Criterion appeared in October 1922. Like The Waste Land, which The Criterion first published, it took the whole of European culture in its sights. The Criterion's editorial voice placed Eliot at the centre of first the London and then the continental literary scene. The editorial life on Russell Square was also conducted over friendly dinners that served the function of a college or a club, and Eliot seemed to thrive on such occasions.At about the same time Eliot reached out for religious support, and turned to the Church of England. Few followers were prepared for Eliot's baptism into the Church of England on 29 June 1927 at Finstock in Oxfordshire, and so, within five years of his avant-garde success, Eliot provoked a second storm. The furore grew in November 1927 when Eliot took British citizenship and again in 1928 when he collected a group of politically conservative essays under the title For Lancelot Andrewes and prefaced them with a declaration that he considered himself ‘classicist in literature, royalist in politics, and anglo-catholic in religion’. (ODNB)Eliot had been introduced to Winckworth in April 1932 by (Archibald) Kenneth Ingram (1882-1965), author and vice-chairman of the National Peace Council, who was ‘anxious [for Eliot] to meet a young friend of mine … [who] has an unusually good mind and writes very fair verse. I am sure you would like him’. Ingram, an Anglo-Catholic lay theologian, socialist, and prolific writer, attempted in several works to integrate his sexuality with his religious beliefs. See David Hilliard, ‘UnEnglish and Unmanly: Anglo-Catholicism and Homosexuality’; Victorian Studies 25 (2) (1982) 181-210. Winckworth was one of the originators of the Seven Years’ Association, established at the 1933 Anglo-Catholic Congress to form ‘a youth auxiliary to the Church Union’. In July 1934 he sent Eliot a ‘short essay’ on the Association, which he hoped he might arrange to review in the St Stephen’s parish magazine. He hoped too that Eliot might take the chair at their meeting in Kensington on 16 October, which he duly did. In December 1934, Eliot described Winckworth to William Kemp Lowther Clarke, a Church of England clergyman, as ‘a very good man indeed, and I have great hopes of him’.The present letter is a reply to Winckworth’s invitation to Eliot to participate in a Junior Church Congress on the theme of the Christian Revolution, to be held at the Dorland Hall in Regent Street 28-20 April 1938. His letter declining the invitation expressed a need to conserve his energy, and that ‘Dorland Hall is rather too public a place to suit my book’. His reluctance to appear was doubtless influenced by an incident at the Dorland Hall in November 1935, when he had been accosted by his estranged wife Vivien in one of her ‘often histrionic attempts to embarrass him into a reconciliation’ (https://tseliot.com ; ODNB).John Peter Winckworth was born on 2 November 1908, youngest of the three children of Lewis Herbert Winckworth (1864-1940), solicitor, and Ruthella Theodora, elder daughter of the Revd Herbert Clementi-Smith of Holland Park Avenue, Kensington, chaplain to the Mercers’ Company. In September 1922 he entered Grants House at Westminster School (also attended by his father and three uncles) and left in July 1927.Admitted as a solicitor in October 1932, he practised in London, in 1947 with Messrs Trollope and Winckworth of 21 Old Queen Street, Westminster. Winckworth was one of the originators of the Seven Years’ Association, established at the 1933 Anglo-Catholic Congress to form ‘a youth auxiliary to the Church Union’. In 1948 he became Registrar of the Diocese of Oxford, and subsequently served as a Church Commissioner, Master of the Worshipful Company of Mercers 1961-2, a governor of St Paul’s School and Secretary of the Church Union.He joined the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve in August 1940, and was transferred to the Training Progress Section of the Air Ministry in 1941.Winckworth was author of Does Religion Cause War? (1934); Sensible Christians (1935); The Way of War: Verses (1939); A Simple Approach to Canon Law (1951); The Seal of the Confessional and the Law of Evidence (1952); A Verification of the Faculty Jurisdiction (1953); and A History of the Gresham Lectures (1966).He died at Eastbourne on 28 April 1986, and a requiem mass was held at St Matthew’s Church Westminster on 23 June.His portrait, by Richard Aylmer Frost (1905-1995), a Westminster contemporary, 1924, is among the collections of the school (GB 2014 WS-03-PIC-002/29): https://collections.westminster.org.uk/index.php/gb-2014-ws-03-pic-002-29The Windham Club, established (as the Windham House Club) in 1828 as a ‘place of meeting for a Society of Gentlemen all connected with each other by a common bond of literary or personal acquaintance’, migrated to No. 13 St James’s Square in 1836. In 1945 it amalgamated with the Marlborough and Orleans Clubs, to form the Marlborough-Windham Club. (Survey of London 28 and 29, St James Westminster, pp136-139.)
° ° Betjeman, Sir John (1906-1984), poet laureate, writer and broadcaster; three letters to Peter Winckworth i. The Mead, Wantage; received 9 April 1954; ‘I am delighted to have the two pamphlets, but I cannot take up the Middle Class one for not being able to put down the Faculty one [A Verification of the Faculty Jurisdiction (1953)]. … I see in my mind’s eye anxious incumbents, the frightened churchwardens, the angry moustached Protestants. What a brute and a fool Lord Penzance was’. Asked [Walter] Taplin editor of the Spectator whether he wanted an article on Easter in Madrid from you. He regretfully declined. The Easter issue is already planned and most of it in type. I am so much in disgrace at Time and Tide now that I have no influence there. … Wasn’t the Honor Tracy case fun?’ii. 43 Cloth Fair, London EC1, 16 October 1957; thanks for ‘a thoroughly enjoyable evening’, with a commentary on the wines – ‘The idea of a little champagne at the beginning was cunning and good’iii. The Athenaeum, 14 March 1962; Thanks for letting us have the Mercers’ hall for the Hawksworth meeting; ‘I am sorry Ian Nairn was so embarrassingly emotional in his speech about Hawksmoor. Not the right kind of thing, I felt, for the City … the excellent hospitality of the Mercers must have enabled them to recover from the speech’In 1937 Betjeman became a devoted member of the Church of England, speaking of it as ‘the only salvation against progress and Fascists on the one side and Marxists of Bloomsbury on the other’ (Betjeman: Letters, 1.171). Betjeman and Peter Winckworth had many things in common – poetry, Anglo-Catholicism, a love of churches, good food and wine – but it is not known which if any of these brought them together. Winckworth’s publication on Faculty jurisdiction – the process by which the Church of England regulates the maintenance and improvement of church buildings – would have been of great importance to Betjeman, whose devotion to the church lay not only in his open admiration for its buildings, its liturgy, and its worshippers, but for its faith.In 1874 James Plaisted Wilde, Baron Penzance (1816–1899) succeeded to the offices of dean of the arches court of Canterbury, master of the faculties, and in 1875 official principal of the chancery court of York. The bishops discouraged recourse to his court, while the laity generally doubted the morality or practical sense of prosecuting ritualists and so converting them into martyrs.In April 1954 Honor Lilbush Wingfield Tracy (1913-1989), journalist and author, had won considerable damages from The Sunday Times, which had published her account of a Canon O’Connell’s attempt to raise funds for a parish house in Doneraile, Co. Cork. O’Connell took exception and the Sunday Times printed an apology, paying £750 to charity. Tracy in turn sued the Sunday Times for damaging her professional integrity by acting without her permission.Ian Douglas Nairn (1930-1983), architectural writer, served in the RAF until 1953, when he resigned his commission and determined to write about architecture. Like Betjeman, he wrote for the Architectural Review, and in 1962 was the first person to be invited by Nikolaus Pevsner to collaborate on The Buildings of England, producing a volume on Surrey and half of the account of Sussex. He was a trenchant critic of both architects and the planning bureaucracy, whom he considered responsible for ruining the towns and countryside of England. His long article in The Observer (13 February 1966), entitled ‘Stop the architects now’, marked a significant step in the growing challenge to the urban policies of the Modern Movement in architecture which resulted in a change in direction the following decade. Nairn's much vaunted affection for public houses combined with his connoisseurship of beer soon proved to be his nemesis, and he only published some short travel guides for the Sunday Times before collapsing into inarticulate melancholia. Nairn described himself as ‘a person who drinks a lot and can’t bear either pretensions or possessiveness’ (Nairn’s Paris, 13). ‘Difficult and intolerant he may have been’, Christopher Hurst concluded, ‘but his heart was warm. This fact shaped his whole world view—his anger was compassionate, on behalf of people and against the impersonal’ (ArchR). During his short, furious, productive career, Ian Nairn had a more beneficial effect on the face of Britain than any other architectural writer of his generation. (ODNB)John Peter Winckworth was born on 2 November 1908, youngest of the three children of Lewis Herbert Winckworth (1864-1940), solicitor, and Ruthella Theodora, elder daughter of the Revd Herbert Clementi-Smith of Holland Park Avenue, Kensington, chaplain to the Mercers’ Company.

Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821), first consul of France; dictated letter, signed Bonaparte, to Citizen [Jean-François Aimé, Comte] Dejean, Councillor of State, Department of War administration; 21 Messidor Year 10 [9 July 1802] Corrupt practices are at their height in Italy, be it in the Italian Republic or in Piedmont. The markets in bread and food are carried on in such a manner that the suppliers are making a profit of 50%.I should like Councilor Berenger to go to that country, gather all necessary information on the spot, visiting every departmental capital so that not a single moment is lost in putting an end to these corrupt practices.[Inserted]: Let me know if you can do without Councilor Berenger; I should like to see him before he leaves.I should also like you from this moment to take over the responsibilities which Vanlubergth was given, to begin on the 1 Vendémiaire Year 11 [22 September 1802], of the provisioning department (service des vivres), so that there is only one administration in the whole of Italy. It is a business that he must stop as soon as possible, so that he can begin to make his purchases. There is so much wheat in Italy that the administration of the country has asked me to authorize exports.I salute youBonaparteBifolium, 232 x 183 mm; engraved letterhead, representing on a flat stone, the edge of which is inscribed BONAPARTE 1E CONSUL DE LA REPUBLIQUE, a robed seated female figure, wearing a cap of liberty and holding a rudder in her right hand and in her left a laurel wreath; AU NOM DU PEUPLE DE FRANCE inscribed on the side of the chair. Drawn by [Jean-Claude] Naigeon l’Ainé and engraved by B[arthélemy] Roger. Wafered red wax sealWritten from dictation by a secretary, perhaps Louis-Antoine Fauvelet de Bourrienne (1769-1834). Annotated by S P Cox, Farningham, Kent with a note of his insertion of a copy of the letter in the Gentleman’s Magazine for October 1841 [page 358].An obituary of Solomon Penway Cox (1794-1850) of the Inner Temple and Farningham in Kent, antiquary and collector, appeared in the Gentleman’s Magazine for March 1850, page 338.The letter was written in the context of the creation of the Italian Republic, with Napoleon at its head as president, on 26 January 1802. Piedmont, formerly part of the kingdom of Sardinia, was united with France in 1798, briefly occupied by Austria and Russia and returned to France after the battle of Marengo in 1800.Jean-François Aimé, Comte Dejean (1749-1824) entered the French army as an engineer officer in 1766. During the Revolution he embraced the principles of moderate reform. He performed a variety of important diplomatic missions, including to Genoa, where he lived for nearly two years with the title of minister extraordinary; doubtless his experience of Italy was valuable in the context of the proposed investigation. He was recalled to Paris in 1802 to take the portfolio of Minister of War, a position he held until 1809.Jean Bérenger (1767-1850), son of a pastor from Grenoble, studied medicine at Montpellier from 1786 to 1788. An anti-Jacobin, he survived arrest in 1794 and became an active participant in Napoleon’s coup d'etat of 18 Brumaire (November 9, 1799). In 1801 he was appointed to the Council of State and became a member of the board of directors of war in 1802.For the artist Jean-Claude Naigeon, 1753-1832, see Natalie Motte Masselink Jean-Claude Naigeon, 1753-1832 : les dessins d'un artiste du siecle des lumieres (Paris, 2012).Offered with Anon., Military Maxims of Napoleon the 1st interspersed with copious explanatory notes, translated from the French; Meerut, printed by J J Robinson at the Mofussilite Press, 1861; 101 pages.
