Near to Kirby Cane Church, down Honey Pot Lane, there used to be some cottages. The area was called Kirby Green. The artist Edmund Blair Leighton leased a cottage here. The porch, house and garden were used in several of his paintings. On the left is The Fate of the Rose and on the right On the Threshold

Post card reproduction of a water colour by Kay Ohsten of North Green Farm, Pulham St Mary. Kay was born in 1935, a graduate of The Norwich School of Art where she later taught graphic design. She was a member of the Norwich 20 Group, a prestigious collection of the County's very best. She trained as a draughtswoman so her accuracy for perspective and architectural correctness was beyond reproach. However, she was very much an impressionist. She passed away in 2003

 Miss Thomas RBA NEAC died on Easter Day 2016 she would have been 100 on 26th September 2016. She moved to the Mill in 1984 from The Watch House at Orford Quay. She trained at Slade School of Fine Art and The Royal Academy Schools.  Most of all she is known for her personal style of still life- a 'momento mori' - dying flowers. She was a member of the New English Art Club and Royal Society of British Artists. She exhibited in many famous galleries. Many of her paintings are of her surroundings of the Mill and the River Waveney from where she sought inspiration. Below some of her work from in and around the Mill.
