This Grade I-listed cottage was owned by Willy Lott, a farmer born in 1761. The cottage featured in a number of paintings by British Romantic painter, John Constable, but most notably, 'The Hay Wain'. The cottage — which is located in Flatford, in the heart of the beautiful Dedham Vale, an area the artist painted prolifically — was restored in 1921 following a resurgence of interest in Constable's work and is now owned by the National Trust.
