Lancelot Cayley Shadwell
Lancelot Cayley Shadwell (26 April 1882 – 28 October 1963) was an English writer, lyricist, and ceramicist. He wrote the lyrics to a host of popular songs, published three collections of his poetry, and contributed to the popular monthly series, ''Books for the Bairns'', published by W.T Stead to provide affordable literature to children and adults. During World War I, he helped launch and nurture one of the most successful concert parties of the war: the Diamond Troupe of the 29th Division (United Kingdom). In the mid-1920s, Shadwell co-founded the Broadstone Potters—a small, but influential producer of studio pottery with links to some of the most important figures in British ceramics.
== Early life ==
Lancelot Cayley Shadwell was born in Maida Vale, London in 1882, the son of Captain Thomas Henry John Shadwell (1859–1893) and Mary Feare James (1859–1892). He was born into a family of distinguished legal scholars, which included the renowned Sir Lancelot Shadwell (1779 – 1850), barrister, Member of Parliament, and ultimately Vice-Chancellor of England.〔Thomas Shadwell studied law at Oxford University. Though admitted to Grays Inn in 1879, he never went into practice. He served as Captain of the 18th Middlesex Rifle Volunteers.〕
The young Shadwell spent his early years in Ramsgate, Kent, but was orphaned at age nine.〔Lancelot’s mother, Mary Feare James, died in May 1892, age 33, from Tuberculosis (Phthisis Pulmonalis). His father, Thomas Henry John Shadwell, died the following year, aged 34, from Brights Disease and what the coroner described as "excessive alcoholism”. 〕 As an only child, he inherited the family estate—nearly £11,500—equivalent in today's money to more than £1.2M. He was sent to live with his maternal grandparents in Frome, Somerset, where his grandfather, Sydney James (1831–1907) was a successful veterinarian.〔Sydney James' practice survives to this day as the (Garston Veterinary Group ).〕
By the age of 23, Shadwell had returned to Kent, this time to Faversham where, in 1905, he married Dorothy C. Mockett (1878–1949), the eldest daughter of a wealthy Margate businessman and grain merchant, Sherwood Mockett (1850–1922). From that marriage were born two children, first a daughter, Lorna Dorothy Cayley (1907–1991) and then a son, Lancelot Rodney Cayley (1912–1943).
