The pair in question are Lee Miller (American model, muse, fashion photographer turned second world war correspondent for Vogue) and her husband, Roland Penrose (surrealist painter, author and co-founder of London's Institute of Contemporary Art). They moved into this house in Muddles Green, Chiddingly, with their two-year-old son Antony in 1949. From the street, the modest Queen Anne facade gives no hint of the colourful world inside.
Miller's story is set to hit the silver screen in September with Lee, starring and produced by Kate Winslet. A passion project of Winslet's and 10 years in the making, it tells of an extraordinary life and will undoubtedly bring more visitors to her former home. Visitors to Farleys can join a fascinating tour and wander the sculpture gardens and gallery spaces.
