Cecil Day-Lewis loved living in Greenwich, like many artists and writers he was inspired by its great history and large open spaces so well blended with the busy London lifestyles of many who live there. Day-Lewis was an Anglo-Irish poet of some note who was acquainted with W.H. Auden and Kingsley Amis. His works have marvelled generations of literary critics and can be found in many of the finest anthologies. Amongst his five children is Oscar winning actor Daniel Day-Lewis.
