==Background==
Middleton was born in Weston by Weedon, Northamptonshire on 22 February 1886. Gardening was the family trade. Middleton was the son of John Robert Middleton, who was employed as head gardener at Weston Hall by Sir George Sitwell, father of the talented trio of Edith, Osbert and Sacheverell, all of whom Cecil Middleton came to know well as a child,〔 probably as a playmate.〔Leslie Geddes Brown in ''Country Life'', 20 March 2013 (reviewing Ursula Buchan, ''A Green and Pleasant Land'')〕 On his marriage certificate on 10 August 1912 in London to Rosa Annie Jenkins, Middelton was listed as a Horticultural Instructor.〔London Metropolitan Archives, Saint Mark, Myddleton Square, Register of Marriages, P76/MRK, Item 029〕 He left Northampton to work first in the seed trade, then spent time as a student at Kew Gardens.〔Jennifer Davies, The Wartime Kitchen and Garden, BBC books, 1993, p.43〕
