This article describes the friendship between Sylvia Townsend Warner, Peter Pears
and Benjamin Britten in the 1970s. It draws on previously unpublished correspondence
held at the Britten-Pears Archive and the Sylvia Townsend Warner and Valentine Ackland
Archive. It describes the role that John Craske’s paintings played in establishing
the connection between Warner and Pears, details some visits and covers Britten’s
illness and death. The article also describes the concert in Warner’s honour planned
by Pears and given in Aldeburgh in July 1977.
