Abstract: Francis Warner was born in Yorkshire in 1937 but spent the years of the Second World War in Epsom, Surrey, where his father was a parish priest. In this very personal reminiscence, he describes the terrors of life in 'Bomb Alley', the sustenance provided by his family and his faith, and the effect the Blitz had on the lives of those who survived it.

Dr Warner is Emeritus Fellow of St Peter's College, Oxford and Honorary Fellow of St Catharine's College, Cambridge.
