C.S. Lewis
IN POETS CORNER
Information on the memorial
On 22nd November 2013, the fiftieth anniversary of C.S. Lewis’s death, Westminster Abbey will be unveiling a memorial stone to Lewis in Poets’ Corner. A two-day conference and a thanksgiving service will be part of the memorial project.
The Dean of Westminster has kindly given his permission for this memorial, but the Abbey itself does not finance such projects, and so we invite your support.
If you have valued Lewis’s writings and personal example and would like to contribute, please give generously. The total cost will be about £20,000.
A list of donors' names will be deposited among the papers of the Oxford Lewis Society in the Bodleian Library, University of Oxford.
With many thanks for your support,
Dr Michael Ward, author of Planet Narnia and The Narnia Code
Professor Helen Cooper, Professor of Medieval and Renaissance English, University of Cambridge
(the professorial Chair which Lewis held, 1955-1963)
Jason Lepojärvi, President of the Oxford University C.S. Lewis Society
Professor Alister McGrath, author of C.S. Lewis, A Life
Michael Ramsden, Director of the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics
