Summoned by Bells
Sir John Betjeman revisits the places he knew as a child in this film which was first produced to celebrate the Poet Laureate's 70th birthday. Highgate, Oxford, old books and churches, boarding school, the dread of games, holidays in Cornwall, poetry and trains - so the story unfolds; a unique and touching account of an Edwardian middle-class childhood.
