title="Nottinghamshire">Nottinghamshire</a>, in 1919 and educated at High Pavement School, Stanley Road, Nottingham, and later at <a href="/wiki/University_of_Nottingham" title="University of Nottingham">University College Nottingham</a>. </p><p>Middleton started writing while at university and in 1958 published <i>A Short Answer</i>. Alongside his work as an author, he taught English at <a href="/wiki/New_College_Nottingham" class="mw-redirect" title="New College Nottingham">High Pavement Grammar School</a> for many years. In 1974, his novel <i><a href="/wiki/Holiday_(novel)" title="Holiday (novel)">Holiday</a></i> won the <a href="/wiki/Booker_Prize" title="Booker Prize">Booker Prize</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 2008, <i>Her Three Wise Men</i> was published, his 44th novel and the last to be published during his lifetime. </p><p>Middleton was an accomplished organist, playing regularly at St Mark's Methodist Church on Ravensworth Road in Bulwell and stepping in to cover others, often at <a href="/wiki/Mansfield_Road_Baptist_Church" title="Mansfield Road Baptist Church">Mansfield Road Baptist Church</a> in Nottingham. He was also a fine watercolourist and contributed his own artwork to the covers of the 1994 novel <i><a href="/w/index.php?title=Catalysts_(novel)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Catalysts (novel) (page does not exist)">Catalysts</a></i> and the <a href="/wiki/Festschrift" title="Festschrift">festschrift</a> <i>Stanley Middleton At Eighty</i>. </p><p>In 2006, a reporter for <i><a href="/wiki/The_Sunday_Times" title="The Sunday Times">The Sunday Times</a></i> sent the first chapters of <i>Holiday</i> to a number of publishers and literary agents as a journalistic stunt. Almost all rejected it. </p><p>The actor <a href="/wiki/Peter_Bowles" title="Peter Bowles">Peter Bowles</a> was taught by Middleton while a pupil at High Pavement. In 1980 when Bowles was the subject of the popular TV programme <i><a href="/wiki/This_Is_Your_Life_(UK_TV_series)" class="mw-redirect" title="This Is Your Life (UK TV series)">This Is Your Life</a></i>, Middleton appeared as a guest on the programme. </p><p>Middleton was married to Margaret Welch from 1951 until his death; the couple had two daughters, Penny and Sarah. Towards the end of his life, he suffered from cancer, and died in a nursing home on 25 July 2009, at age 89. </p><p>It has been revealed that Middleton refused an <a href="/wiki/Officer_of_the_Order_of_the_British_Empire" class="mw-redirect" title="Officer of the Order of the British Empire">OBE</a> in 1979. This came to light following a <a href="/wiki/Freedom_of_information" title="Freedom of information">freedom of information</a> request by the <a href="/wiki/BBC" title="BBC">BBC</a>.
