Alun Lewis’s “All day It Has Rained” is a fine and attractive poem, and it was good to see it picked out by Carol Rumens back 2015. She has sensible things to say about it.
One sentence, however, gave me pause. She writes that “Lewis had visited Thomas’s grave at Steep in 1940.” As I understand it, Thomas is buried in Agny Military Cemetery in France (Plot 1, Row C, Grave 43: see the following link and image:

In this country, Edward Thomas is commemorated in Westminster Abbey, in All Saints Church in Steep, and by a sarsen stone erected in 1937 not far away on Shoulder of Mutton Hill. Some may find the following page of interest:
