Details
Painted in the same style and year as ‘Dedham Vale’, Willy Lott’s House can be seen here from the south bank of the Stour, with a thickly wooded island which separated the mill stream from the river and giving the impression of a central feature. Through the trees you can see what was probably a storage barn no longer present.
Willy Lott’s House, originally called Gibeon’s Gate Farm, was lived in by Willy Lott (1761-1849) for 88 years, he spent only a single night away from this home.
Provenance Sir William Drake, sold Christie’s 27th June 1891, George Salting, his daughter Lady Binning, 1910, by descent to Lord Binning.
