Kennedy lived at Staplegrove Elm and is buried in Staplegrove Church, in Taunton, Somerset, England. Local folklore has it that the small wooded area between the church and Staplegrove Scout Hut was the inspiration for his lyrics.

Nine years ago today I walked from Rochester to Sissinghurst, en route for Hastings. I happened upon a touching #BattleofBritain crash site, near #Staplehurst: P/O Clifton died there on 1 Sept 1940. I visited his grave, near Taunton, a couple of years later. RIP 'Curly' Clifton. (See Alt text.)
