John Betjeman’s first connection with Harrow-on -the-Hill was the publication of a poem with the same name that was first published in the Harrow School magazine in 1949. In it he refers to the surrounding areas and in particular St Mary’s Church. I have therefore arranged a short talk and tour of the Church on April 8^th at 1:15pm, which will then be followed by a grand tour of Harrow School starting at 2:00pm prompt, which includes optional afternoon tea at the end. JB did two clips in Metroland about the school and the surrounding streets which are named after school houses. Meet outside the Church at 1:00pm. The address is St Mary’s CofE Church, Church Hill, Harrow-on-the-Hill HA1 3HL. The cost of the School tour plus Afternoon tea is £26.50 per head. If you don’t want tea the school tour finishes at 4:00pm and the cost will be £14 per head. Buses H17 or 258 go from Harrow-on-the-Hill (Metropolitan line or Chiltern Railways) Tube Station to the school, or get a taxi for only £6.  Guests are welcome too. EARLY BOOKING RECOMMENDED!
