The Poet who lived in Steep has a birthday on 3 March and his memory is celebrated with a talk at the Petersfield Bookshop on Thursday 27 February (now fully booked!) and an Anniversary walk around Thomas's Steep, on Sunday 2 March. (meet at Bedale's car park.) 

Jeremey Mitchell from the Edward Thomas Centre, based at the Petersfield Museum and Art Gallery, spoke to Mike Waddington about the poet, his life and the work of the Edward Thomas Centre, which is also looking for volunteers so the Centre can extend its opening hours and have help cataloguing and researching papers they have there.

Robert Frost is a poet very famous in America, he spoke for instance at the Inauguration of President J F Kennedy, but he was inspired by talks and walks around Steep with Thomas.

Thomas was killed in France in the FIrst World War and as Jeremey explains, he wasn't a War Poet but rather wrote about the war.
