I shall be talking about my biography of William Golding in Salisbury at the Guildhall on Friday 4 September at 7.30. Golding taught at Bishop Wordsworth's School, Salisbury, from 1945, when he came out of the navy, until 1960, so I think there is a good chance there will be people who knew him or were taught by him in the audience. Salisbury Cathedral spire was visible from his classroom window, and inspired his novel The Spire.
