Rupert Brooke, the son of a housemaster at Rugby School, was born on 3rd August, 1887. In 1906 he won a scholarship to King's College, Cambridge. While at university he joined the Fabian Society. Other members at Cambridge at the time included: Hugh Dalton, Clifford Allen and Amber Reeves. During this period Brooke met several leaders of the movement including George Bernard Shaw, Beatrice Webb and Sidney Webb.

Brooke began writing poetry and during the next few years had two collections of verse published, Poems (1911) and Georgian Poetry (1913). Brooke had a mental breakdown and in 1913 decided to tour the US, Canada and the Pacific.

On the outbreak of the First World War Brooke joined the Royal Naval Division and in October 1914 took part in the Antwerp expedition. After this experience he wrote several poems including, Peace, Safety and The Soldier.

In February 1915 Brooke sailed on the Grantully Castle for the Dardanelles. While on board he developed acute blood poisoning and although transferred to a hospital ship died on 23rd April 1915. Rupert Brooke was buried on the Greek island of Skyros.

There is a nice pub in the village named Rupert Brooke

Tea Garden set in an orchard, renowned for its famous past visitors best seen in daylight and I am sure this is the same for the whole of Grantchester.
