Derek Coventry Patmore (1908, London – 1972) was a British writer. He was the great grandson of the poet Coventry Patmore.
Patmore was educated at Uppingham School. He worked as a war correspondent in the Balkans and the Middle East, writing for the News Chronicle and the Daily Mail.[1]
In 1940, having met Patmore in Bucharest, the Romanian writer Mihail Sebastian wrote in his diary that Camil Petrescu told him Patmore was a pederast.
