If you go Wroxham on the Norfolk Broads, you can see the ruins on the bank of the house he had built in that beauty spot. He had an Egyptian room - it was all the rage since that bloke had found Tutankhamoun. Apparently Max Miller wound him up - saying you've been done. that's ancient Greek not Egyptian.

WH Auden's dad was a vicar at Wroxham as well - great place.
