 Madeleine Bunting’s memories of Scotch Corner
The writer Madeleine Bunting has returned to the remote corner of North Yorkshire where she was raised and where her father became obsessed with a single acre of land. John Bunting was a sculptor and teacher – Antony Gormley was one of his pupils. He became fixated with his plot, dedicating his life to the erection of a war memorial and chapel there. Now Madeleine has written ‘The Plot’; about her father and the small corner of England that he loved so much. She joins Jenni in the studio.
The Plot: by Madeleine Bunting is published by Granta Books on 5 Oct 2009, priced £18.99, ISBN-10: 1847080855
