The first record of the mill is from the thirteenth century, when the mill's overlord was the Abbot of Reading, but it may date back to Roman times. The building was still being used to mill flour in the 1920s. The house attached to the mill dates from the sixteenth century. From 1917 to 1924, it was the home of artist Dora Carrington (1893-1932) and author Lytton Strachey (1880-1932). In 1995, a film called Carrington was made about Dora's relationship with Strachey, starring Emma Thompson in the title role. Although many of the film's scenes were set at the mill, the house was not used in the production. It was recently on the market for sale for just under £2 million. Unfortunately, a bit out of my league. Have to sale a few of these prints before I can put my bid in!! And then some.
But it does look beautiful.
Tidmarsh Mill is probaly her best known painting. It is the back of Mill House.
It was in December of 1917 that Lytton left Belsize Park Gardens and set up home with Dora in the small Berkshire village of Tidmarsh. The place was rented by Lytton, Oliver Strachey, Harry Norton, Saxon Sydney Turner and Maynard. Dora supervised the decoration and furnishing as well as maaging the domestic side of life.
Though her artistic output during these years was surprisingly good considering her domestic duties, it could of been higher. It is a cause of frustrating with admirers of her work that there isn't more of it and these young years in her life could have seen so much more from her if she had concentrated 100% on the work. Partly as a result of this, she remains one of the most underrated artists of all time. Not to everyone though. No less a figure than Andre Derain had seen and admired one of Dora Carrington's works.
She began to move into Mill House on 17th November 1917. It was whilst living at Mill House in December 1918 that she learnt of the death of her father, Samuel Carrington, at the age of 82, in Cheltenham where her parents had moved to. The original piece was done in oil like most of her other paintings. Painted in 1918, Outside the UK obviously takes a bit longer but currently (2016) they arrive on average within 10 - 20 working days from receipt of order.
