Carr was born in Yorkshire, into a family of Wesleyan Methodists.
Carr, who appointed himself its guardian, came into conflict with the vicar of the benefice, and higher church authorities, in his attempts to save the church.
Carr wrote eight short novels, which contain elements of comedy and fantasy, as well as darker passages, based on his varied experiences of life as teacher, traveller, cricketer, footballer, publisher and restorer of English heritage.

 Amazon.co.uk: The Last Englishman: The Life of J.L. Carr: Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
J.L.Carr was the most English of Englishmen: a man who spent most of his working life in the middle of Middle England, as headmaster of a Northamptonshire school, an enthusiastic follower of cricket and a tireless campaigner for the conservation of country churches.
But he was also the author of half a dozen of the quirkiest, most comic novels in English, a publisher (from his own back-room in Kettering) of some of the most eccentric, collectable – and smallest – books ever printed, and an enigmatic, elusive individual.
Carr's interests and passions represented much of the best of England, from the game of cricket to the endangered country church, from an unswerving sympathy for the underdog and the underprivileged to a hatred of bigotry and showmanship.

 Amazon.com: A Month in the Country (New York Review Books Classics): Books: J.L. Carr,Michael Holroyd   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Carr's writing is impeccable and it took on a magical quality where the past and future were perfectly brought together through the voice of the protagonist Tom Birkin.
Carr's A Month In The Country (1980), which is set in the 1920s, is the story of Tom Birkin, a budding restorer who accepts a job uncovering a church mural in a small Yorkshire village, a village predictably populated by greenhorns, cranks, and eccentrics of all stripes and colors.
Whether is it is Carr himself, or merely Tom Birkin, who is so self-satisfied is difficult to say; either way, the combination of the anemic first person narrative and the idiosyncratic attempts at humor, in which the author indulges himself at every turn, sink the book quickly.
