Editing John Masefield (section)

==Legacy==
[[File:The Masefield Centre.JPG|thumb|180px|Masefield Centre (library and IT)]]
The Masefield Centre at [[Warwick School]], which Masefield attended, and [[John Masefield High School]] in Ledbury, Herefordshire, have been named in his honour.

The [[Cheshire Home]] built on the site of his final home at [[Burcot, Oxfordshire]] is named after him.

Interest groups such as the John Masefield Society ensure the longevity of Masefield's opus. In 1977 [[Folkways Records]] released an album of readings of some of his poems, including some read by Masefield himself.<ref>[https://folkways.si.edu/john-masefield-reads-his-poetry/album/smithsonian ''John Masefield Reads His Poetry'']</ref> Recordings preserved include [[Good Friday: A Play in Verse|Masefield's 1914 Good Friday]].

===Song settings===
In addition to the commission for [[Queen Alexandra's Memorial Ode]] with music by Elgar, many of Masefield's short poems were set as [[art song]]s by British composers of the time.<ref>For a list of settings, see: [http://www.lieder.net/lieder/m/masefield/ 'John Masefield'] at ''The Lied, Art Song, and Choral Texts Archive'', www.recmusic.org.
