Listen to Philip Mould talk about this painting by Cedric Morris, which once hung in the dining room at Benton End, home to Morris and his partner Arthur Lett-Haines (known as Lett).

The students who attended the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing at Benton End heralded its progressive way of life where visitors ‘could garden and work and talk, and where students of all ages could work alongside them.’ This lifestyle was sustained by Lett, whose famously delicious dinners are remembered by all who visited the house. Taking pride of place in the dining room, where it hung until 1970, this painting was privy to all manner of meals from intimate breakfasts to raucous dinner parties.
