The First World War poster ‘Missing!’ (Not included in the sale) relates to his poem of that title in The Supreme Sacrifice, (p.22) written in memory of Red Cross Nurses drowned at sea, with facing illustration that closely resembles the poster.
Sir John Stanhope Arkwright (1872-1954, known to the family as 'Jack') inherited Hampton Court estate from his father in 1905. By then the estate was encumbered with mortgages, but once he had cleared those and settled death duties, he put the estate up for sale and moved to Kinsham Court.
In 1900, he was a Barrister, but had also been private secretary to the Home Secretary, Sir Matthew White Ridley, and he became the popular Conservative candidate for Hereford, being described as a fluent speaker and a great lover of cricket and football. John was duly elected later that year but in 1912 he resigned due to ill health, and an impending operation.
He was educated at Eton and Christ Church Oxford. In 1895 he won the Newdigate prize for English Poetry for his epic 'Montezuma'. (His own verdict, confided to his mother, was "not at all satisfied with it & am doubtful about sending it in. I think it is just above the average of a bad year.”) He published a volume of poetry The Last Muster (1901) in response to the Boer War which drew a favourable response from Rudyard Kipling. However, it is for his Great War hymn, 'O Valiant Hearts' first sung on 5th August 1917 at Westminster Abbey to mark the anniversary of the outbreak of war, that he is best remembered.
His words were sung at the burial of the Unknown Soldier, at the dedication of the burial flag of Ypres, and at the consecration of the Houses of Parliament and Menin Gate war memorials. They were also recited by the Premier of Canada over the transatlantic telephone at the unveiling of the Canadian memorial at Vimy Ridge. The tune is still played annually at the Cenotaph in London at the Remembrance Sunday service. He was described as the 'inspired interpreter of the nation's deep and inmost feelings'. He was Knighted in the 1934 New Year's honours list.
He spent some years at Kinsham Court and in 1934 he was a awarded a Knighthood, following which he was presented with the freedom of the City of Hereford, it being reported in the Hereford Times: “Sir John Stanhope Arkwright of Kinsham Court, Co. Hereford, author of the hymn O Valiant Hearts, was on Saturday presented with the freedom of the City of Hereford. He is the brother of Mrs. Chester-Master, widow of Major R.C. Chester-Master, D.S.O., K.R.R.C., Chief Constable of Gloucestershire, who was killed in Action in 1917”.
He died in Presteigne on 19th September 1954
