More about this scene
The poet John Clare was born in Helpston in 1793, the son of a thresher. He was to become tragically involved with the movement against the enclosure of the open fields and the destruction, as he saw it, of the countryside and life he so loved. He published his 'Poems Descriptive of Rural Life' in 1820.
