Roger Deakin - Common Ground (Charity)

Roger Stuart Deakin (born 11 February 1943 - 19 August 2006) was an English writer, documentary-maker and environmentalist. Deakin was born in Watford, Hertfordshire. Educated at Haberdashers' Aske's and Peterhouse, Cambridge, where he read English, Deakin first worked in advertising as a copywriter and creative director. He was responsible for the National Coal Board slogan "Come home to a real fire". Following this, he taught English at Diss Grammar School for three years. In 1968, he bought Walnut Tree Farm, a semi-ruined Elizabethan moated farmhouse on the edge of Mellis Common, near Diss in Suffolk, which he rebuilt and developed over many years and where he lived until his death from a brain tumour. This had first been diagnosed only four months previously.
