He plans to settle in his childhood home, near Borrowdale. His brother, who lives nearby is horrified, because the house is remote, the land is poor, and the property has been decaying for a great many years; but Francis Herries is set on his plan and will brook no argument. At the time of the 2001 census, the parish had a population of 438 people, living in 137 households. [2] [3] The 2011 Census showed that the population had declined to 417 residents among 128 households. [4] Economy [ edit ] Sir Hugh Seymour Walpole, a 20th-century English novelist, had a large and varied output. Between 1909 and 1941 he wrote thirty-six novels, five volumes of short stories, two original plays and three volumes of memoirs. His range included disturbing studies of the macabre, children's stories and historical fiction, most notably his "Herries" series, set in the Lake District.

Walk circuit of Derwentwater. Walk to Castlerigg stone circle (a bit of planning and map reading can make this into a circular walk). Walk to Dog and Gun pub (easy one!). The department had been set up at the outbreak of war to further British propaganda, and used the services of many British authors including Bennett, Wells, William Archer, Anthony Hope, Gilbert Murray, John Masefield and Ian Hay.

[1] The civil parish of Borrowdale covers a considerable area around the valley, including the southern half of Derwent Water. It includes the settlements of Grange, Rosthwaite, Seathwaite, Seatoller, Stonethwaite and Watendlath. It lies entirely within the Lake District National Park. I’ll be interested to know how you get on with Walpole though and if you think I should add ‘Rogue Herries’ to my ever growing ‘to read’ list!Though Walpole was no admirer of the schools he had attended there, the cathedral cities of Truro, Canterbury and Durham made a strong impression on him. He drew on aspects of them for his fictional cathedral city of Polchester in Glebeshire, the setting of many of his later books. Walpole's memories of his time at Canterbury grew mellower over the years; it was the only school he mentioned in his Who's Who entry. [13] Cambridge, Liverpool and teaching [ edit ] A. C. Benson, an early mentor. I grew up... discontented, ugly, abnormally sensitive, and excessively conceited. No one liked me – not masters, boys, friends of the family, nor relations who came to stay; and I do not in the least wonder at it. I was untidy, uncleanly, excessively gauche. I believed that I was profoundly misunderstood, that people took my pale and pimpled countenance for the mirror of my soul, that I had marvellous things of interest in me that would one day be discovered.

Hugh Walpole's Study of the English Lakes – A Biography of the Lake District", The Daily Mail, 30 May 1930, p. 12 Other admirers included Conrad, who wrote "We see Mr Walpole grappling with the truth of things spiritual and material with his characteristic earnestness". Not all those who Walpole hoped might be "the perfect friend" were gay. On at least two occasions later in his life he developed strong attachments to married men who, though evidently not sharing Walpole's sexual orientation, were happy to enjoy his friendship.

The Guardian reviewer observed that the setting of Mr Perrin and Mr Traill – a second-rate public school – was clearly drawn from life, as indeed it was. The boys of Epsom College were delighted with the thinly disguised version of their school, but the college authorities were not, and Walpole was persona non grata at Epsom for many years. [37] This was of no practical consequence, as he had no intention of returning to the teaching profession, but it was an early illustration of his capacity, noted by Benson, for unthinkingly giving offence, though being hypersensitive to criticism himself.

I read all of The Herries Chronicle when I was quite young, say 11 or 12. We had an old copy in the book cupboard at home, probably belonging to my mum. I found it then completely eye popping and couldn’t put it down. I don’t know what happened to that volume. I think it had maps in the endpapers of all the locations in the Lake District where the stories unfold. Francis Herries, a man who has clearly done much to earn the sobriquet ‘Rogue’, has uprooted his family from their Yorkshire home, because he knew that his sins would soon catch up with him if he stayed. The travelling party includes his wife; his two daughters, Mary and Deborah; his only son, David; his loyal manservant; a woman who carries the title of housekeeper but is in fact his mistress; and a priest who held some very strong views…. By the time of his death The Times 's estimation of Walpole was no higher than, "he had a versatile imagination; he could tell a workmanlike story in good workmanlike English; and he was a man of immense industry, conscientious and painstaking". [111] The belittling tone of the obituary brought forth strong rebuttals from T S Eliot, Kenneth Clark and Priestley, among others. [122] Within a few years of his death, Walpole was seen as old-fashioned, and his works were largely neglected. In the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography Elizabeth Steele summed up: "His psychology was not deep enough for the polemicist, his diction not free enough for those returning from war, and his zest disastrous to a public wary of personal commitment". [1]

When I first remember seeing Hugh Walpole's name he had no public at all, but the ferocious young reviewers– the "highbrows" as we have since learned to call them– delighted in him. Now he has an enormous public, both in England and America, and the young "highbrows"– who are saddened by the thought of a large public– are not particularly fond of him. [40] This discounts his earlier writings in a family magazine he edited between 1898 and 1903, called The Social Weekly. Steele comments, "This periodical, complemented by several historical novels Walpole also wrote during this time, constitutes a solid body of juvenilia." [1] He seems to have conquered Gosse completely. He spends his Sundays in long walks with H G Wells. He dines every week with Max Beerbohm and R Ross ... and this has befallen a not very clever young man of 23. Am I a little jealous? – no, I don't think so. But I am a little bewildered ... I do not see any sign of intellectual power or perception or grasp or subtlety in his work or himself. ... I should call him curiously unperceptive. He does not, for instance, see what may vex or hurt or annoy people. I think he is rather tactless – though he is himself very sensitive. The strong points about him are his curiosity, his vitality, his eagerness, and the emotional fervour of his affections. But he seems to me in no way likely to be great as an artist.

Walpole was sent to England, where according to his biographer Rupert Hart-Davis the next ten years were the unhappiest time of Walpole's life. [6] He first attended a preparatory school in Truro. Though he missed his family and felt lonely he was reasonably happy, but he moved to Sir William Borlase's Grammar School in Marlow in 1895, where he was bullied, frightened and miserable. He later said, "The food was inadequate, the morality was 'twisted', and Terror – sheer, stark unblinking Terror – stared down every one of its passages... The excessive desire to be loved that has always played so enormous a part in my life was bred largely, I think, from the neglect I suffered there". [7] The King's School, Canterbury
