Scope and Contents

The Michael Richey papers 1, consist of original correspondence from personal friends who also comprise the notable circle of artists who congregated at the home of English sculptor Eric Gill (1882-1940), on Pigotts farm in Buckinghamshire. Together with Gill, these included Anthony Foster, Rene Hague, David Jones, Walter Shewring, and Denis Tegetmeier.

Correspondence is also included from other well-known acquaintances (many of whom were related or closely associated to the Pigotts circle), such as Tom Burns, Graham Greene, Harman Grisewood (also longtime friend of Rene Hague and David Jones), Shirley Hazzard, Fiona MacCarthy (Gill's biographer), Jacques Maritain, Prudence Pelham (Buhler), Margaret Pepler, George Speaight, and Bernard Wall, as well as members of Richey's family.

Correspondence is arranged alphabetically by individual. Michael Richey provided annotations to many of the letters, indicated with an asterisk (*). A copy of the complete annotations is located in Folder 73.
