THE MASEFIELD MATTERS PROJECT.
Speaker to be confirmed
John Masefield was a best-selling poet and author from Ledbury, who was Poet Laureate from 1930 until his death in 1967. Since then, he has faded from public memory. The Masefield Matters project was set up to explore his legacy through a range of events celebrating his work and his life. The project will finish in 2028 with a memorial commemorating the 150th anniversary of John Masefield’s birth. The form this memorial takes will be chosen by the Ledbury community through a series of consultation workshops.
