Betjeman famously took Archie up to Oxford with him – thus providing the inspiration for Sebastian Flyte's teddy Aloysius in Brideshead Revisited. (Evelyn Waugh and John Betjeman were contemporaries at Oxford.)
Archie and the Strict Baptists is a story written by Betjeman for his children in the 1940s and published in 1977. I can't say I've ever read it, but from what I've been able to glean off the Internet, Archie doesn't seem to have had too many religious troubles. He enjoys riding a hedgehog to chapel, and preaching when the Pastor is not available. His biggest problem seems to have been attending chapel when the family moves house.
He also flies on home–made wings over the Berkshire Downs, and enjoys amateur archaeology (believing molehills to be the graves of baby Druids).
