		Back in those early days, the children (Hugh Casson and his sister Rosemary) sometimes went to London and stayed with their Great Aunt Tory (Victoria Matthews), who was their Man grandmother's sister, and who lived in a tall terraced house in Montagu Street, Marylebone.

		There were visits to aunts at Chatham or Aldershot or Putney; and an annual summer fortnight with a widower uncle [James Henry Matthews] - one of their grandmother's brothers - who lived at Sunbury-on- Thames and, as chairman of Grindlay's Bank, was amongst the most prosperous members of the family.

		Who better to illustrate this autobiography than Hugh Casson, architect and former President of the Royal Acedemy, who has already delighted us with illustrated books on London, Cambridge and Oxford which show him to be just as much in love with those places as Betjeman himself.
		Casson is Betjeman's very near contemporary and was a close friend, matching him in passion for all matters architectural and like him a keen observer of the splendid and ridiculous.

		Hugh Casson’s life spanned most of the last century, but in many ways he was a child of the century before that.
		This is an exhibition designer’s view of the world (the piece was written two years after the Festival of Britain) and it betrays Casson’s romantic preference for the light and ephemeral over the permanent that influenced the conduct of his entire working life, too.
		So although he was an important creative force in his own practice, as well as an important procurer of clients, Casson was never really suited temperamentally to the hard slog of architecture.

	Raised Faculty Building Cambridge by Casson
		Casson, Condor and Partners 1961 (Sir Hugh Casson)
		The raised faculty building, in the form of a three-side court for Modern Languages, English and Moral Sciences, is one stage of a more comprehensive plan for which Casson-Condor were overall responsible.
		The Raised Faculty Building, with its extraordinarily arbitrary and illogical fenestration - particularly painful in libraries, which demand even lighting - was intended as a great collegiate courtyard where, in Sir Hugh's beautiful drawings of 1952, spikily gowned students could be seen wistfully dreaming together under the arcades.

		In Reply to: HUGH CASSON: A BIOGRAPHY by JOSE MANSER (pub.
		I haven't read Jose Manser's book, and really only knew Sir Hugh's practice at a distance, but one thought is that there were a number of well known firms of similar date where one of the partners was the outgoing "personality", with the other partner, or partners, being the working talent.
		This combination could work very well, and often involved personalities whose abilities fitted together to make a successful partnership which would simply have had no effect in terms of the individuals alone.

		Steven Jenkins has been a devotee since his college days in the early 80s: “Midwinter seemed to have a fresh appeal to those of us who had not lived through the Festival of Britain era, and the designs were as new and exciting to us as they had been the first time around”.
		Today increasing numbers of collectors are discovering Roy Midwinter’s pioneering Stylecraft and Fashion ranges, and seeking out the stylish designs of Jessie Tait, Terence Conran, Hugh Casson and others.
		Here we have the complete story of the post-war years, with over 100 colour plates plus pattern index, shape guide and backstamps.
