About the Author

Robert Wyndham Ketton-Cremer (1906–1969) was an English landowner, biographer, and historian who inherited Felbrigg Hall in Norfolk in 1933 and became known as "the Last Squire." Educated at Harrow School and Balliol College, Oxford, he wrote extensively on Norfolk history and notable biographies including those of Horace Walpole and Thomas Gray, for which he won the James Tait Black Award in 1955. Never married, he bequeathed Felbrigg Hall to the National Trust upon his death.
