Took me years and some happy coincidences to fully unravel the various locations of both story and films (I still get ‘Whistle and I’ll Come To You’ muddled with ‘Curious’ too). I don’t think it’s too surprising that Britten is far more celebrated than James for his Aldeburgh connection. I’m not sure James actually lived there, did he? And the Britten legacy (Snape etc) is still – perhaps more so – quite vigorous today.

But don’t be too disappointed at not finding the three crowns on the stonework above the door – these were simply ‘stuck on’ for the benefit of the film.
