Sussex home of Lee Miller to be handed over to charity, son says

The home of former fashion model turned war photographer Lee Miller is to be given over to charity as part of new plans for the house and her works.

Farleys House and Gallery in Chiddingly near Lewes, Sussex, became the home of Miller and her husband Roland Penrose in 1949 following World War Two, and later became a hub for artists including Pablo PIcasso and Juan Miró.

Now, the family home is to operate under the banner of the Farleys House and Gallery Trust, which the trust hopes will help to preserve it for future generations.

Antony Penrose, Miller and Penrose’s son and founder of the gallery, said: “To see this incredible creativity was just an amazing thing to find.”
