Previous Artist in Residence We don't have a blue plaque quite yet, but we found out the acclaimed artist, Joanna Carrington (1931-2003), lived here from 1979-1992. Her Aunt was Dora Carrington, who was part of the racy Bloomsbury set, whose Sussex base was Charleston House near Lewes (well worth a visit). One of her test paintings was discovered when we dismantled a cupboard (see photos).
