"I’m accustomed to saying that In Parenthesis by David Jones is the greatest work of modernist poetry you’ve never read": I stumbled on it as an undergraduate and the way it inserts the First World War into layers and layers of different pasts is something I keep coming back to.

After seeing a client, I popped into St Botolph at Burgh (Suffolk) to see the mural 'Birds of the Bible,' the artist Anna Zinkesen painted in around 1967 in memory of her husband Col Guy Heseltine - there's a very good history to this tiny church written by Simon Knott
