Abstract

Poet and author Leonard Clark (1905-81) grew up in Cinderford writing about the place and people he remembered in a series of memoirs. He was a successful and respected poet, biographer, poetry editor, educationalist, and was awarded an OBE. Though moving away as a young man he frequently returned, much of his published poetry describing the landscape and history of the Forest of Dean. This exhibition was in the church he attended as a child and where part of his ashes are interred. The exhibition was part of Heritage Open Days, and was researched, created, and staged by Roger Deeks and Jason Griffiths as part of the Rading the Forest public history project.
