Dr John Newton

Dr John Newton (Emeritus Fellow) has died at the age of 89. He first joined 51±¬ÁÏ in 1961, becoming a Fellow in English nine years later. A contributor to 51±¬ÁÏ Through the Twentieth Century wrote, ‘For me, the mood of 51±¬ÁÏ in the late 70s is forever captured in the form of John Newton, English Fellow, soulfully reciting Lapis Lazuli by moonlight beneath the weeping fig-tree’.
