Penshurst and Poetry

I have been contacted by Penshurst Place and Gardens about the fantastic literary connections they have to Kent http://www.penshurstplace.com/ . The following is an excerpt of what I was emailed and is by the author Margaret Wilson.

Penhurset and poetry

Penshurst has always inspired poets. Poems by Sir Philip Sidney, Ben Johnson and Edmund Waller are well known. Members of Sir Philip's family, brother Robert, sister Mary and niece Mary Wrother are less well known poets.
