The poems of John Betjeman

A fundraising ode to St Katherine's, Oxfordshire, by poet laureate John Betjeman...

The poet John Betjeman was a strong supporter of English churches, including our sweet St Katherine's Church in Chiselhampton, Oxfordshire, about which he wrote a special poem to raise funds in 1952.
